Don't Miss This Buzz - we use honey from NYC in Prototype Gin


What sets Prototype Gin apart? It's the unexpected touch of urban magic: New York City honey. This isn't just any honey; it's harvested from bees that call the iconic High Line home, buzzing amongst the vibrant flora of this elevated urban oasis.


Imagine bees collecting nectar from the wildflowers that thrive amidst the city's concrete jungle. This unique honey brings a touch of sweetness and a hint of city life to our gin, a subtle reminder of the unexpected connections that can be forged between the urban and the natural.


The High Line, once an abandoned railway, has been transformed into a thriving green space, a testament to the resilience of nature in the heart of the city. If you are lucky enough to live in NYC or are planning a trip soon, we highly recommend you taking a trip down here to soak in all the views of the city from an elevated walkway.
