Black Button Distilling Lilac Gin

Black Button is Rochester’s first grain-to-glass distillery since prohibition, and we’ve come a long way since then. By staying true to our vision of following our own path, making adventurous craft spirits – and above all else, doing it with locally sourced ingredients – we now have loyal fans all across the country. So, wherever you are, we invite you to raise a glass, celebrate the opportunities that life’s obstacles provide, and enjoy the hard-earned simple pleasure of a fine spirit.

Our Black Button Lilac Gin brilliantly blooms once a year in limited quantities. We make Lilac Gin each spring as a complement to Rochester’s rich festival and floral history. Once known as The Flower/Flour City, we recognize Rochester’s roots with a gin that sports a beautiful bouquet of lilac, lavender, rose, and hibiscus tasting notes. Each flower petal is steeped, distilled, and recombined to create a light and delicate flavor. Enjoy our Lilac Gin in a sweet and aromatic cocktail such as an Aviation or Highland Park. Relish in the warm and happy feelings of Spring with 4 of our favorite Lilac Gin cocktails. Our Lilac Gin has subtle hints of juniper, coriander, and other botanical components that make this spirit highly sought after. Make sure to get yours before we run out.
