Gin History and Distillation

What’s the history behind the creation of gin, and how does the distillation process work?

During the gin-making workshop, participants explore the fascinating origins of this botanical spirit, tracing its evolution from a medicinal tincture to a beloved global drink.

Gin’s roots can be traced back to the 11th century, when distillers in the Netherlands began experimenting with juniper berries and other botanicals to create a flavored spirit.

The professional distillers on hand guide attendees through the intricate steps of gin production, revealing the secrets behind crafting a unique, custom-blended gin.

The distillation process involves carefully selecting and infusing botanicals into a neutral grain spirit, allowing the flavors to shine through in the final product.

Botanical Selection and Distillation

During the gin-making workshop, participants get hands-on with selecting the botanicals that will define the unique flavor profile of their custom gin. They work closely with the expert distillers to choose from a variety of aromatic ingredients, including classic juniper berries, citrus peels, and an array of botanicals like coriander, angelica root, and cardamom.

Once the botanicals have been carefully selected, the distillation process begins, with the participants observing as the distillers expertly extract the essential oils and flavors from the ingredients using a small copper pot still.

The key steps in the distillation process include:

1. Infusing the botanicals in neutral spirit

2. Heating the mixture to vaporize the flavors

3. Condensing the vapors to produce the gin

4. Adjusting the final alcohol content

Personalized Gin Bottle Creation

After the botanicals have been distilled, participants customize the label for their personalized gin bottle. They work closely with the distillers to design a unique label that reflects the character and flavors of the gin they created. The label can include various design elements, such as the gin’s name, the botanicals used, and any other personalized details the participant wishes to incorporate.

The label design process allows participants to fully personalize their gin experience.
