Greenhook Ginsmiths is a Brooklyn-based craft gin distillery founded by brothers Steven and Philip DeAngelo, who set out in 2010 to create a new generation of American gin focused on purity, flavor, and innovation. Officially launched in 2012 in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, the company quickly gained recognition for its distinctive vacuum-distillation process, which allows botanicals to be distilled at lower temperatures and preserves delicate aromatic compounds that are often lost during conventional distillation.
