The Buildout Podcast: The Violet Hour

This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. As a bartender, I get to taste a lot of gin, so I can be picky about what I offer my guests. Farmer’s Gin is one of those bottles I keep coming back to, because it delivers exactly what I’m looking for behind the bar. It’s clean, balanced, and makes a fantastic Martini, but it also shines in classics like a Negroni, Gimlet, or even an Alaska. What I really appreciate is how many different drinkers it appeals to. There’s enough juniper for London Dry fans, but also beautiful floral and citrus notes to win over those who prefer softer, more modern gins. It’s one of those bottles guests love because it just tastes great. If you care about quality and well-made cocktails, check out Farmer’s Gin. Follow them at @farmersgin or visit farmersgin.com.

Toby Maloney is one of the country’s most respected cocktail creators, responsible not only for multiple modern classics, but also for some of drinkers’ favorite bars across the country. Through his consulting business, he has been involved in more projects than even he can name, but the bar he is best known for is Chicago’s The Violet Hour. On this episode of The Buildout, Toby joins Adam to talk about how The Violet Hour came to be, the impact it had on Chicago’s cocktail scene, and the legacy it leaves behind following its recent closing.
