Contact

Gin Authority exists as a reference resource — not a fleeting blog post or a brand's marketing arm. The contact information and guidance below covers how to reach the editorial office behind this site, what kinds of inquiries get a thoughtful response, and how to frame a message so it lands in the right place rather than the void.

Additional contact options

The primary channel for all inquiries is the contact form embedded on this page. For editorial questions — corrections to published content, sourcing disputes, or requests to add a specific gin brand or distillery to the reference coverage — email tends to produce a more detailed exchange than social platforms.

Gin Authority maintains a public presence on Instagram, where short-form content, new distillery notes, and gin tasting observations get posted on a rolling basis. That channel is suited for brief exchanges, not extended correspondence. For anything requiring a substantive answer — a factual disagreement, a collaboration inquiry, a content licensing question — the written channels below are the appropriate route.

Press kits, product samples, and brand pitches directed at Gin Authority go through the same editorial contact channel. There is no separate PR inbox. Messages that arrive with the subject line clearly stating the purpose ("Brand Submission: [Distillery Name]") move through triage faster than messages that don't.

How to reach this office

The editorial office operates on a response window of 3 to 5 business days for standard inquiries. Corrections to published factual content — particularly anything touching US gin regulations, labeling requirements, or production method descriptions — are prioritized and typically reviewed within 2 business days.

Contact breakdown by inquiry type:

1. Factual corrections — cite the specific page URL, the sentence in question, and the source that contradicts it. A correction submitted with a named public source (a TTB ruling, an ACSA publication, a BJCP style guideline) will be addressed ahead of corrections submitted without documentation.
2. Editorial contributions — Gin Authority does not accept unsolicited guest posts. Topic proposals for future coverage are reviewed quarterly. Proposals should name the specific gap in the existing reference library and identify what authoritative sources would anchor the piece.
3. Brand and distillery listings — the top gin brands in the US and American craft gin distilleries pages follow an editorial selection process. A brand can be nominated for consideration; inclusion is not guaranteed and is not a paid placement.
4. Licensing and republication — content on Gin Authority is original editorial work. Republication, syndication, or embedding requires written permission. Requests should specify the content, the publication, and the intended use.
5. General gin questions — the FAQ page and the how to get help for gin page cover the most common reader questions. Checking those before sending a message is genuinely worthwhile — the answer is likely already there.

Service area covered

Gin Authority focuses primarily on the United States market — US regulations, US retail availability, American craft producers, and the regulatory framework set by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The editorial lens is national in scope, not regional, meaning that a distillery in Portland, Oregon gets the same consideration as one in Brooklyn, New York or Austin, Texas.

International gins appear throughout the reference library — particularly in the imported gin brands coverage, the gin history timeline, and the foundational genever and London Dry style pages — but the primary audience is US-based readers navigating the American spirits landscape.

Inquiries from non-US distilleries, importers, or publications are welcome. The response may note that a specific product or regulation falls outside the core editorial scope, but those messages are still read.

What to include in your message

A message that gets a useful reply in a reasonable timeframe typically includes four things:

1. A clear subject line — "Question about navy strength gin ABV minimums" is immediately actionable. "Hi" is not.
2. Specific context — which page, which claim, which product, which date. Vague references to "one of the articles" require a round-trip clarification before anything can happen.
3. A named source or reference if the inquiry involves a factual dispute. The gin regulations and alcohol content pages are frequently referenced, and disputes about those topics require citation — not opinion.
4. A stated purpose — corrections, proposals, brand submissions, and licensing requests each have different workflows. Identifying the purpose in the first line of the message removes ambiguity.

Messages that arrive without context, or that are clearly template-blasted to multiple publications simultaneously, are deprioritized. The editorial queue is a real queue, not a mailroom with infinite bandwidth.

One last thing worth saying plainly: Gin Authority does not sell advertising placements dressed as editorial content. A distillery cannot pay to appear in the craft gin movement coverage or the gin price tiers reference. The site's utility to readers depends entirely on that line staying clear.
