About Waterloo Gin No. 9 Gin

The flagship gin in Waterloo's line-up had to embody the spirit of Waterloo, the original name of Austin, Texas; it had to taste like Texas. While paying homage to traditional dry gins, Waterloo No.9 Gin is crafted in the New American style, distilled with lavender, grapefruit, and pecan for a true taste of place. 

Waterloo Gin vapor-infuses 9 botanicals ( lavender, juniper, grapefruit, pecan, orris root, coriander, anise, ginger, and licorice root) during the distillation process to extract the truest essence of each flavor. They then proof down with limestone-filtered spring water and bottle it at 94 proof. 

Waterloo Gin pours together limestone-fed spring water and local botanicals in a bouquet of Hill Country flavors. Waterloo Gin harvests botanicals unique to the Texas Hill Country and uses innovative distillation techniques to create modern twists on classic spirits.
