Tasting Notes

Nose

Distinctly malty and warm — woodsy grain-forward character, lemon meringue pie with toasted edges, minimal traditional juniper or citrus aromatics, a whisper of vanilla

Palate

Lemon and cinnamon arrive first with creamy vanilla texture — grainy, genever-like mouthfeel, hops adding a subtle IPA-like bitterness, juniper present but restrained, grains of paradise providing peppery warmth

Finish

Long and mellow — warming toasty grain character carrying through, gentle spice fade, vanilla and lemongrass lingering, surprisingly smooth

Expert Review

7/10

Named after Frances Elizabeth Willard — Evanston's fiercest temperance crusader — this grain-to-glass gin is distilled in a town that was dry for over 100 years. Founded by Paul Hletko, a lawyer whose grandfather's Czech brewery was seized by the Nazis. Eleven botanicals including garden-grown Cascade hops and Tahitian vanilla. Malty, lemon-meringue character closer to genever than London Dry, every label depicting a scene from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
