Discover Ginkins Gin: Crafted with Heritage, Refined in Louisville
At Ginkins Distillery, our story begins with a passion for craft and a dedication to excellence. Guided by Scott Ginkins, our master distiller who honed his expertise in the heart of Edinburgh’s legendary spirits scene, we bring a world-class gin experience to Louisville.
Our Louisville Dry Gin is more than just a spirit—it’s a testament to the meticulous craft and dedication that goes into every bottle. We carefully select bold botanicals, ensuring that each ingredient plays a crucial role in creating a flavor profile that is both distinctive and memorable. This dedication, combined with the unparalleled quality of Kentucky’s water, creates a gin like no other. The natural limestone filtration in this region produces a water source recognized as one of the best in the U.S. for crafting spirits. This purity is at the heart of our gin, lending it a crisp, clean taste that reflects the very essence of Louisville.
As the gin renaissance sweeps across the U.S., Ginkins Gin stands out with its bold botanical profile, perfect for creating timeless cocktails. Whether you’re enjoying a classic Gin and Tonic with a twist of lime, a sophisticated Negroni, or an innovative gin cocktail, our Louisville Dry Gin is the ideal choice for any occasion.

Reservoir Distillery
We built Reservoir Distillery in 2008 and became the third distillery outside of Kentucky to make bourbon since prohibition.
Our Founding line of whiskies showcases 100% single grain flavors. We offer you the experience of discovering what each single grain tastes like, helping you determine whether that flavor profile appeals to your palate. We also provide the gift of post distillation creativity.
The lineup of our founding whiskies moves on the flavor spectrum from mellow to bold. The wheat whiskey is elegant, the bourbon shows sweet Virginia backbone, and the rye is ballsy and robust. As stand alones—they’re exceptional. Blended together, they’re extraordinary.
We believe in ‘creating your own tradition,’ honoring the fact that everyone has a unique palate, and have crafted whiskeys to allow you to discover, create, and even customize your own blend.
We love Virginia—we love our farmers and their grains, the trees that make our barrels, and the climate that ages our spirit.
Somewhere along the way, because of how we make whiskey, we discovered we were answering a very important question: What does Virginia taste like?
The answer?
Pretty damn good.
