Leopold’s American Small Batch Gin
have been distilling since 2002.
Its hand bottled, hand labeled, and
hand numbered.
Most gin is produced by placing spirit
in a potstill and adding the entire range of botanicals in the still
before distilling the entire steep in one run. Not all botanicals
(juniper, coriander, etc.) have the same boiling point, so when a
distiller distills all the botanicals together, searching for the
best juniper flavor, for example, he/she is overboiling the
coriander.
When botanicals are
overboiled, tannin-like flavors are extracted, drying out the final
Gin. Leopold's take a different tack by placing each individual
botanical in the still and distill them off separately. They
carefully make cuts like you would for a whiskey: heads, hearts, and
tails. The heart portion is when, as an example, the fruity-floral
nose of the juniper is at its cleanest. After the heart has been
collected, the refined juniper nose gets muddled and cloying,
smelling and tasting a bit like pine trees. Leopold's discard this
portion, favoring the cleaner hearts portion, and this lends the
spirit its rounded, clean finish that is unlike any other gin in the
world.
Leopold’s American Small Batch Gin
apply this method for the rest of their botanicals: Orris Root,
Cardamon, Coriander, and hand-zested Valencia Oranges and Pummelos,
carefully extracting the best aromas that these botanicals have to
offer. The result is a softer, brighter, and more approachable
spirit.
