Fleischmann's - Dry Gin (1.75L)

The origins of Fleischmann's, the first American-made gin, date back to 1870. Charles Fleischmann came to the United States during the Civil War from Europe with a distilling background. Once in America, he saw the need for the improvement of baking and returned to Austria to acquire samples of yeast. Soon after, Charles returned to the States with his younger brother Maximilian, and in 1868 the brothers joined James Gaff, a Cincinnati distiller, in a partnership. Through this partnership the brothers and Gaff revolutionized the baking industry with America's first standardized yeast strain. A few years later in 1870, a subsidiary named the Fleischmann Distilling Company was founded, and America had its first gin. In 1879 Gaff died, and the brothers purchased the shares of the company. the success of the yeast development allowed the Fleischmanns to grow their distilling operations and offerings to include Eastern Rye Whiskey, cordials, bourbon and vodka.
