Production notes
The still is filled with grain neutral spirit, and the botanical recipe added with some water. This is left to steep for 12 hours, which begins the process of extracting the flavour from the juniper . The still is then heated by an external steam jacket to boil the liquid. As the pot begins to boil, vapours move up the short column of the still to the condenser, where they condense and are collected. Progressing with the distillation the other botanicals , lemon , basil and dill , the most gentle and fragile are added in the vaporisation chamber still, the botanicals are contained in copper baskets, which hold them together while allowing the vapours to be fully exposed. As the evaporated alcohol moves through the botanicals, it efficiently extracts their flavours, which are carried out of the basket along with the alcohol until they reach the condenser. Only the lighter, sweeter and balsamic flavours can be extracted by this method, which gives the spirit its distinctive character.
