Wild California Gin

Henwill
Gin

Foraged from the high desert. Handcrafted with wild California juniper. Built for unforgettable cocktails, intimate dinners, and drinkers who want something impossible to mass-produce.

Wild California Juniper Pearblossom, CA 48% ALC/VOL

We do not make gin from anonymous berries. We harvest wild California juniper from land we are restoring by hand, then bottle the desert: citrus, spice, heat, rain, patience.

Henwill lives in two places: the bottle you bring home, and the one-night-only dinners where food, gin, artists, chefs, and the California landscape meet.

II. The Bottle

Not Soft.
Not Anonymous.

Henwill is a wild California London Dry Gin built around hand-foraged juniper and a botanical profile that holds its own in a G&T, Negroni, Southside, Martini, or whatever your night demands.

It is bright enough for citrus, structured enough for bitter cocktails, and strange enough to make people ask what they are drinking.

VIII. Questions, Answered

Henwill Gin FAQ

What makes Henwill Gin different from standard London Dry gins?

Unlike commercial gins that rely on imported, dried juniper berries, Henwill Gin is distilled with wild California juniper hand-foraged from our own unirrigated, chemical-free ranch in Pearblossom, CA, located less than 70 miles from our craft distillery. Bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof), it marries piney high-desert juniper with citrus peel, lavender, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice.

What does Henwill Gin taste like?

Henwill Gin opens with bright high-desert juniper, resinous pine, and fresh California citrus peel on the nose, followed by a bold, structured palate of desert lavender, warm ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and subtle vanilla roundness. Bottled at 48% ABV, it finishes crisp, dry, and aromatic, holding its structure in a Negroni, Martini, Southside, or Gin & Tonic.

What botanicals are used in Henwill Gin?

Henwill Gin is crafted with seven botanicals anchored by wild-foraged California juniper from our Pearblossom high-desert ranch, complemented by citrus peels (including orange peel), lavender, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice.

Where can I buy or taste Henwill Gin in Los Angeles?

You can order 750ml bottles ($65) and luxury gift boxes ($135) nationwide via henwillgin.com, purchase in-store at Flask Fine Wine & Whisky in Studio City (12194 Ventura Blvd). You can also taste Henwill Gin cocktails at select Los Angeles bars including Sunset & Vinyl (Hollywood), Zero Lounge (Hollywood), The Roger Room (West Hollywood), Brews Bros (Burbank), Black Cat (East LA), and Home (East LA).

How does Henwill Gin support wildfire restoration in California?

After wildfires destroyed half of the mature juniper trees on our Pearblossom high-desert ranch, we launched our Re-Greening initiative. Every bottle of Henwill Gin sold funds the replanting of native junipers and agaves, with a commitment to reestablish our entire ranch ecosystem before 2030. Customers can also directly sponsor an Agave Pup ($8) or Juniper Seedling ($15) to be planted on our regenerative farm.
