Herbal Gins

Herbal gins are those that incorporate a variety of herbs and spices in their manufacturing process, giving them distinctive flavors and aromas. These gins are typically juniper based and complemented by a combination of herbs and spices which may include rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, bay leaf, fennel, among others.

How are herbal gins made?

Herbal gins are made by incorporating a variety of herbs and spices during the distillation or mashing process. First, herbs and spices are carefully selected, which can include rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, fennel, bay leaf, and many other options depending on the specific recipe. These herbs are added to the still or macerated in neutral alcohol, allowing the flavors and aromas to extract and blend with the base alcohol. During distillation, the volatile compounds present in the herbs are released, creating a gin with a distinctive herbal and spicy complexity. In some cases, fresh herbs or extracts may also be added after distillation to further enhance the flavors.

 

The result is an herbal gin with a wide range of flavors, ranging from earthy and fresh notes to herbal and spicy aromas. These gins are appreciated for their unique character and are used both in cocktails and in direct tasting, offering a captivating flavor and aroma experience.
