New York Times T List: A Farm-Inspired Bar in Downtown Albuquerque
"Los Poblanos, a farm in Albuquerque’s north valley with a plush hotel, spa and restaurant, is expanding into the drinks business. Last October, the company opened Town and Ranch, a distillery and tasting room, in a former tractor dealer in a downtown industrial neighborhood that’s being reshaped by breweries and roasteries. In a room now draped with velvet curtains, bartenders pour Los Poblanos’s new line of spirits, distilled only a couple of feet away in large copper alembic stills. One of the two signature gins features lavender — the star crop of the farm and a key ingredient in Los Poblanos soaps and lotions — while the other, called Western Dry, is made from botanicals of the Rio Grande Valley such as piñon, rose and chamomile."
