When you stay at the St. Regis Deer Valley, you know you can expect plenty of special touches — like sunset Champagne ceremonies and ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes. Now, starting this fall, St. Regis guests have the opportunity to savor an exclusive, locally made spirit at the hotel bar as well.
Thanks to a partnership between the luxury resort and Park City-based Alpine Distilling, the resort has produced a limited run of St. Regis Barrel Select Gin. Only two barrels of the gin were produced, so if you haven’t had a chance to try it yet, you’ll want to hurry.
The liquor is bottled in custom Sego lily glass bottles, in honor of Utah’s official state flower. The bottles are hand labeled and corked with German-engineered walnut bar stoppers. With a bold juniper-forward and intensely floral flavor, the gin also offers notes of coriander, cardamom, angelica root, orris root, lemon peel and licorice root.
“The considerable time we invested in the three-day distillation process and months-long barrel
aging before going into this beautiful, custom Sego-lily-shape bottle mirrors the extraordinary
care and attention with which St. Regis welcomes its guests,” distiller Sara Sergent said in a press release.
At the hotel, guests can enjoy the gin in a classic Collins, French 75, a stirred martini or a special St. Regis cocktail. If you’d rather make your own cocktail at home (ideally with your own bottle of Alpine gin!), try one of these exclusive recipes from the hotel.
