  • Distiller/Owner: Wes Panther

Sensory Description:

Juniper sets the stage, joined by a trio of citrus peels, grapefruit, lemon, and lime, that add brightness and lift. Elderflower and rose petals contribute a delicate floral dimension, while cardamom and coriander lend spice and depth. Earthy bass notes from angelica and orris provide grounding, with honeydew adding subtle softness. A final whisper of mint leaves a refreshing top note, completing a layered profile that is both refreshing and complex.

Distiller's Background:

Founder and distiller Wes Panther established Ancestors Distilling in Fort Collins, Colorado, to honor a family history steeped in spirits, from German brewing roots to Kentucky moonshining, and executive leadership at Brown-Forman. After years of managing a craft spirits and beer bar in Denver, Wes deepened his craft through distilling rum in Florida, apprenticing in gin, vodka, and whiskey in South Carolina, and working at Mobb Mountain Distillers. Returning home to Colorado, he now carries forward his ancestors’ legacy with an independent distillery rooted in passion, tradition, and innovation. The Grapefruit Gin Liqueur embodies that spirit, designed as a tribute to family and community.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled or over ice to highlight its refreshing citrus and floral complexity. Ideal in a Grapefruit Gin & Tonic, spritzed with soda, or as a striking base for creative cocktails such as a Grapefruit Negroni or a floral Gin Sour. Its vibrant citrus and botanical depth also pair beautifully with light fare such as seafood, grilled vegetables, or fresh goat cheese.

Ancestors Distilling Grapefruit Gin Liqueur is more than a spirit; it’s a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship, offering a layered drinking experience that bridges traditions with modern Colorado creativity.
