Nearly nine months after selling her Over-the-Rhine cocktail lounge Japp's, mixologist Molly Wellmann is back celebrating the city she loves. This time with the release of Cincinnati Gin, a new spirit made with botanicals sourced straight from Krohn Conservatory and distilled by Northern Row Brewery's Five Stories Spirits, in Over-the-Rhine.
"I had the idea to make a Cincinnati-style gin using botanicals from Krohn for a long time," Wellmann told The Enquirer. "But first I wanted to find a local distillery that knew how to make a really good gin." While there are several reputable gin distilleries here in town, Wellmann said Five Stories seemed the most ready and willing to work with her. "I friggin' love their gin," she said. "And they love Cincinnati history just like I do."
