American Mustard is James May’s third gin (JG.03), and easily his most American. Inspired by the iconic flavours of the U.S.—namely hot-dog mustard, dill pickles, and a touch of tomato—this gin boldly captures the essence of baseball games, roadside diners, and questionable dietary choices.
Infused with mustard seed, pickled cucumber, dried tomato, and other botanicals such as rosemary, coriander, juniper, and bay leaf, this gin is not for the faint of palate. It's savoury, spicy, and strangely satisfying.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Think of a ballpark hot dog in gin form: mustard seed, pickled cucumber and dried tomato share the botanical lineup with rosemary, coriander, juniper and bay leaf. This is James May's third gin, labeled JG.03, and it delivers exactly what it promises. The nose opens with tangy pickle and sweet mustard, with juniper waving politely from behind the gherkins. On the palate, the sharp tang of yellow mustard seed meets a cool wave of cucumber brine and umami depth from tomato, while caraway, ginger and coriander add complexity. The finish is medium and clean, with briny sweetness and lingering ginger warmth. It suits the drinker who already has a classic juniper-forward bottle and wants something genuinely different, and it truly comes alive in savory drinks like a Dirty Dill Martini or a pickle-garnished G&T. We carry it because it commits fully to a savory idea most gins only flirt with, yet stays balanced enough to mix, sip and talk about.
Pairs well with
- Hot dogs with yellow mustard — The gin's mustard seed tang and briny pickle notes echo the toppings, and the tasting notes themselves warn you may want a hot dog afterwards.
- Cheeseburgers — A Dirty Dill Martini's cucumber brine and tomato umami cut through a rich burger the way a pickle slice does.
- Backyard baseball game cookout — Its ballpark-and-diner inspiration makes a pickle-garnished All-American G&T a natural fit for a summer game day.
