Distiller Notes
The potato base spirit is brought to 191 Proof using custom 650 Liter copper pot stills and twin 19 plate copper rectification columns. The nuanced flavors of 28 local and exotic fruits and botanicals are delicately infused with the base spirit, first in the pot still and then in a custom basket inside the botanical gin chamber. A special blend of botanicals macerates in the pot still for 36 hours before the vapors of the blended spirit travel through the gin basket to infuse with the remaining botanicals. The resulting gin is then carefully finished in oak barrels that once held Pine Barrens American Single Malt Whisky.
Proof: 94
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
