Bourbon may be our first love here at Black Button Distilling, but gin is a close second! So much so that we have two of the five Gin Guild members outside of the United Kingdom right here at our distillery. Started in London in the 1600s, the Gin Guild promotes and encourages commitment to excellence in gin distillation.
Starting with an ultra-refined wheat-based spirit and infusing an alluring blend of botanicals creates an exotic citrus experience that will have you coming back for more. If you have never been a fan of the strong ‘tree’ flavor of gin, we encourage you to give gin another chance. It will put a zesty twist on a classic Gin & Tonic, but is refined and smooth enough to be used in a Gin Martini.
Named “The Official Gin of Summer” by Food and Beverage Magazine, the rich and juicy orange delivers a bold fruit taste and is a perfect match for the New York State Cascade hops and delicate notes of juniper. Citrus Forward will add a unique character to any cocktail.

Immerse yourself in the essence of spring with our exclusive Black Button Lilac Gin, a true gem that blooms brilliantly once a year in limited quantities. Crafted as a tribute to Rochester’s rich festival and floral heritage, our Lilac Gin pays homage to the city’s storied past as The Flower/Flour City.
At Black Button Distilling, we meticulously infuse each batch of Lilac Gin with a beautiful bouquet of lilac, lavender, rose, and hibiscus, capturing the delicate essence of these blooms. Every flower petal is lovingly steeped, distilled, and skillfully recombined, resulting in a spirit that exudes a light and ethereal flavor profile. Savor the sublime notes of our Lilac Gin in a variety of sweet and aromatic cocktails, such as the classic Aviation or the refreshing Highland Park. With each sip, you’ll be transported to a realm of warmth and happiness, embracing the vibrant spirit of spring. Delight in the subtle hints of juniper, coriander, and other botanical components that dance harmoniously on the palate, adding depth and complexity to this sought-after spirit. But act fast – with its limited availability, our Lilac Gin is a coveted treasure that disappears quickly.
Join us in celebrating the beauty of the season with our favorite Lilac Gin cocktails and experience the joy of spring in every sip. Don’t miss your chance to elevate your libation game with our exquisite Lilac Gin – secure your bottle before it’s too late. Cheers to the essence of spring, captured in every drop of Black Button Lilac Gin.
