Jessamine Gin was a gin distilled by Westland as a house gin for Elysian Brewing’s Elysian Bar which was open from May 5, 2014 to July 31, 2018. It’s unclear for how long Jessamine Gin was produced.
What little documentation exists of Jessamine Gin is always given in the context of Elysian Bar and also usually references Murray Stenson, a legendary Seattle bartender who is quite interesting in his own right.
