Developing our unique flavours is key to our process. Like making a perfect cup of tea, a steeping/maceration process helps to develop the flavour in our gins. We carefully measure out our botanicals and place them in our wheat base spirit for 12 to 24 hours, depending on the recipe. Once they finish the steep, they get boiled in the still pot and we collect the vapour. Another way we create our diverse flavours is through vapour infusion. Here we boil the alcohol to allow the vapour to pass through a basket holding chosen botanicals, extracting flavour before we collect it. We distill ALL botanicals at once rather than individually, allowing them to interact with each other chemically within the still, making new aroma compounds which leads to depth of flavour.

After distillation the gin is very strong, around 80% abv, so we need to water down and “proof” the gin to our desired bottling strength. This usually falls between 43% to 57% but never below 40% abv.

All of our gins are distilled in small batches at Last Best in our custom designed 500L copper still made exclusively for us.

To complete the process we hand package and label each bottle.
