BRANDON'S GIN

Brandon’s Gin is an American style gin handmade using a copper potstill, one small batch at a time. What makes this gin special is the mix of botanicals  and the technique to infuse the flavors into the spirit. The botanicals are all natural and carefully selected; juniper, coriander, angelica, cinnamon, lemon peel, orange peel and anise. The botanicals are vapor infused into the spirit during distillation.
Vapor infusion is a method by which the botanicals are placed in a perforated basket and spirit vapors are passed through the basket during distillation. The vapor infusion process gives to gin an amazingly fresh aroma and a wonderful taste, without the juniper overpowering the other botanicals.
After distillation Brandon's gin is bottled by hand with each bottle hand signed and numbered.

BROKER'S LONDON DRY GIN

The distillery where Broker’s Gin is made is located near Birmingham, England and is over 200 years old. There had previously been a brewery on the site, but this was converted to a distillery at a time when gin-making became more profitable than beer-making.

The distillery uses only traditional pot stills. Continuous distillation using column stills is more efficient and is used by the major brands, but pot stills are better for extracting maximum flavour from the botanicals in a traditional hand-crafted fashion.

The distillery has a mini-still, which is used for making small batches of gin from different recipes. The recipe for Broker’s Gin is 200 years old and was chosen after taste-testing against several newer recipes. Often the old ones are the best ones.

The copper pot still used for producing Broker’s Gin is named “Constance” and was manufactured by John Dore & Co, long recognised as the finest still-maker in the world.

The base spirit for Broker’s Gin is quadruple-distilled pure grain spirit made from English wheat. The flavour is provided by ten natural botanicals, the primary one of which is juniper berries – as in all gins. The botanicals are steeped – soaked – in the base spirit in the still for 24 hours. This is the first part of the flavour-infusion process. The still is then fired up for the final, fifth distillation, which completes the process.

Dried botanicals are sourced from all over the world and shipped to the distillery in sacks.
The botanicals used in Broker’s Gin and their sources are:
Juniper berries – Macedonia, Coriander seed – Bulgaria, Orris root – Italy, Nutmeg – India, Cassia bark – Indonesia, Cinnamon – Seychelles, Liquorice – Italy, Orange peel – Spain, Lemon peel – Spain, Angelica root – Poland

The botanicals are added to the still in carefully measured quantities according to the recipe. Some botanicals, eg juniper, require a number of sackloads.

Where quantities smaller than a sackload are required, a small shovel is used.

There is an underground spring beneath the distillery, which provides a source of soft, pure water.

Avaible in 40% Abv- 80 Proof and 47% Abv- 94 Proof

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE LONDON DRY GIN

Launched in 1987 Bombay Sapphire has a unique distillation process: There are only four Carterhead stills working in the world today and are distinctive to Bombay Sapphire.
Unlike other gins which boil their botanicals with the spirit, the Bombay spirit is distilled alone. To achieve the unique flavour, the spirit passes through the botanicals in vapour form. This allows each delicate aroma to be fully absorbed. The result is a complex, yet subtle taste sensation.
Triple distilled, 100% neutral grain spirit is heated into vapour form. Vapour is sent through the rectifying column, unique to a Carterhead still. The baffle system, situated in the column, allows only the purest spirit to pass through.
Purified vapour passes through a copper basket containing 10 natural botanicals and absorbs their delicate flavours; Almonds from Spain. Angelica (root) from Saxony. Lemon peel from Spain. Coriander (seeds) from Morocco. Liquorice from China. Cassia Bark from Indo-China. Juniper Berries from Italy. Cubeb Berries from Java. Orris (iris root) from Italy. Grains of Paradise from West Africa. The vapour is turned into liquid and received into a spirit safe as Bombay Sapphire.
The selection and balance of their botanicals is based on a recipe dating from 1761. The selection of botanicals used to create Bombay Sapphire is an extensive process with no expense is spared.
Bombay Sapphire is blended with pure water from Lake Vyrnwy and bottled.

HAYMAN'S OLD TOM GIN

The name “Old Tom Gin” comes from what may be the first example of a beverage vending machine in England.

Old Tom Gin is a botanically-intensive and lightly sweetened style of gin that was particularly popular in the 18th Century and was the Gin of Choice in the 19th Century.

The style of Old Tom is renown for its botanical intensity balanced by a light sweetness, which imparts a more complex experience than other styles of gin.

Old Tom Gin was traditionally made from grain spirit and distilled in a pot still with Juniper berries being the most dominant botanical in the recipe.

Juniper was seen as blind allegiance to William of Orange, King of England 1689-1702 who introduced England to Juniper- based Dutch Gin or “Genever”.

Distillation methods in the 18th Century did not produce a particularly clean or pure spirit and initially Old Tom Gin was lightly sweetened to mask any impurities.

In comparison to London Dry Gin, the Old Tom style delivers a more rounded taste experience with depth. The distinctive Old Tom Gin profile is the key ingredient in classic gin cocktails such as the Martinez, Tom Collins and Ramos Gin Fizz.

JUNIPERO GIN

Junípero Gin is made by hand in the classic "distilled dry gin" tradition, utilizing morethan a dozen botanicals in their natural state, in a small copper pot still at littledistillery on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. The history of gin goes back at least to the mid-1600's in Holland, but its true antecedents are much earlier, those first experiments in the ancient and mysterious art of distilling in the presence of herbs and spices. The predominant flavor and aroma of a modern gin will always come from juniper (dried berries of the "common juniper," Juniperus communis). But the wonderful challenge for the distiller is in selecting and blending from a wide variety of additional, exotic botanicals in order to impart a uniquely satisfying, balanced character to his gin. At Anchor Distilling they have taken delight in the adventure of researching and experimenting with many such botanicals. The final formula must remain a secret, but company hope you will agree that they have achieved a distinctive, intriguing complexity in the Junípero Gin: light and crisp and clean, combining a deep and mysterious spiciness with subtle delicacy.

LEOPOLD'S AMERICAN SMALL BATCH GIN

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.

DEATH'S DOOR Gin

Death’s Door Gin has a surprisingly simple botanical mix of organic juniper berries, coriander and fennel. Using juniper berries that grow wild on Washington Island with coriander and fennel sourced from within the state, Death’s Door Spirits is able to showcase how complimentary and complex simple expressions can be.
Death’s Door Gin employs a 60:40 mix of organic Washington Island wheat and organic malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin.
This Gin has a full London Dry flavor without all of the bitterness because of our distillation process and the grains we use. In fact, you can taste all three botanicals: loaded juniper berries up front; spicy, citrusy notes from the coriander seeds in the mid-palate; and a soft, cooling finish provided by the fennel seeds.
Death’s Door is big enough to stand up to classic or vintage cocktail treatment, but soft enough to be enjoyed on the rocks or as a dry martini

9 LIVES Gin

                                    


'9 Lives' is an Old Tom gin, which is a style of gin that was particularly popular in the 18th Century and the Gin of Choice in the 19th Century. Today, it is making a bit of a comeback as it can be used to recreate classic gin cocktails more authentically. The name 'Old Tom' comes from what was perhaps the first example of a drinking fountain - a painted sign of a cat in the window of a pub, which declared the message that gin could be purchased 'by the cat'. Gin could be received via a lead pipe under the cat's paw. The name '9 Lives' harks back to this intriguing aspect of the history of gin. The gin is bottled and distilled in London, so I have used Clarendon, which is English, for the main typeface on the label and for the logo."

GIN MARE

         

Gin Mare is produced in a small fishing village on the Costa Dorada in Spain using botanicals all sourced within the Mediterranean area. Alongside ‘traditional’ botanicals juniper, bitter orange peel, seville orange peel, lemon peel, cardamon, and coriander seed there are four that are not quite so common; Arbequina olives, basil, rosemary and thyme. All the botanicals except the citrus are macerated individually for 24-36hrs in neutral grain alcohol, before being distilled in a copper pot still, again individually. The three citrus botanicals are macerated as fresh peels in neutral grain alcohol for a whopping 300 days before distillation. It’s not until all the botanicals have been distilled individually that they finally get to meet one another in the blending process.

The four ‘Mediterranean’ botanicals are evident immediately upon nosing this gin, with the rosemary in particular standing out. However, the juniper is still playing a starring role and is complemented rather than dominated by the other botanicals. There is a lightness created by the citrus and basil with a savoury olive undertone that brings back memories of hot holidays abroad. The savoury, herbal elements are immediately evident when tasting neat, with the rosemary again taking centre stage alongside the classic juniper backbone. There is no denying this is a gin, and even hardened gin purists will be happy to accept this product into the category. There is a good depth of flavour and a lingering olive and thyme finish that certainly gets the appetite going. Admittedly, there is a mild burn to this gin, but definitely not enough to put me off mixing with it
