  • Bluecoat American Dry Gin is a hand crafted, five times distilled, premium gin made with 100% Certified Organic botanicals by Philadelphia Distilling, the largest distillery in Pennsylvania. This revolutionary spirit is composed of organic juniper berries and a blend of American citrus peels, giving Bluecoat a distinctly bold, refreshing citrus finish. Bluecoat Barrel Finished Gin is produced by aging Bluecoat American Dry Gin in new American oak barrels for a minimum of three months. This process enhances the rounder, softer notes and introduces hints of caramel and whiskey without sacrificing juniper or pepper notes. The Democratic National Convention will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia from July 25th through July 28th. An expected 50,000 visitors will be coming to Philadelphia for the convention, including members of the Democratic National Committee, press, and spectators. Local businesses and committees throughout the city have been working together to provide participants with a full list of events to introduce the Philadelphian culture to its visitors. To cast your vote and receive the latest Bluecoat announcements, visit www.facebook.com/bluecoatgin. The polls will open July 14thth and will close July 28th. Fans can vote by simply hashtagging #Martini or #Martinez on Bluecoat American Dry Gin’s Facebook post. Follow along on Twitter and Instagram with hashtag #Drinkcision2016
