New Amsterdam Gin is a product of the New Amsterdam Spirits Company, from Modesto, California, a subsidiarity of E. & J. Gallo Winery. New Amsterdam Gin is produced as a contemporary take on classic gin-making standards. That includes a base of neutral spirits, combined with an infusion of botanicals, including citrus, as well as the primary flavoring constituent of any gin - the juniper berry.
