Our Method
We start by selecting the best possible Botanicals and letting our ripe Juniper Berries and aromatic Coriander seeds macerated in our spirit for 24 hours. We then add our blend of highlight Botanicals which changes based on which recipe we are making but include: Fresh Citrus Fruits, Fresh Berries, Lemon Thyme, Lavender, Tellicherry Pepper, Grains of Paradise, Cubeb Berries, Angelica, Orris, Liquorice Root, Cinnamon and Bramley Apple just to name a few. We use a traditional Copper Alembic still for our Distillation, Distilling on a low open flame to ensure a gradual even heating of the spirit. We even seal our still with a bread mixture made from Rye Flour, which is the traditional method and ensures only natural products are used throughout. We use only Copper in our Distillation equipment for two reasons: 1 it allows for a better distribution of heat 2. It removes Sulphides, which are what help give you a bad head. During our Distillation we take 5 cuts, cuts 1 and 5 don't make our final spirit and cuts 2-4 are blended together to ensure consistency between batches. With our Dry Gin and Prescription Strength Gin, we simply blend the Distillate with water, retaining the full essence of their Botanicals, making it a "One Shot" Gin and giving it a superior smoothness and flavour profile. Due to the full essence of those Botanical oils you will see subtle pearlescence, "Louche" or clouding of the liquid when Ice or a Mixer is added.
