GIN / GENEVER

ARBIKIE DISTILLERY SCOTLAND Arbikie Distillery is the first single-site, field to bottle distillery in Scotland to produce both white and brown spirits using traditional Scotch distilling methods and equipment. Distillery of the Year Scottish Gin Awards Arbikie AK’s Gin 86PF / 750ML This gin is a tribute to Alexander Kirkwood Stirling (aka AK), the father of founders Iain, John, and David. Created entirely on the Arbikie estate using their wheat, water, and honey from the land’s own bees. Distilled in copper stills and bottled in the distillery. They’ve weaved in botanicals to give it earthy and spicy hints and honey to add a subtle smoothness. Arbikie Kirsty’s Gin 86PF / 750ML Arbikie’s Master Distiller, Kirsty Black, carefully chose the botanicals of seaweed, Carline Thistle, and Blueberries to capture the elements of sea, rock and land that influence our distillery. Unlike many other spirits, Kirsty’s Gin base spirit is distilled on the Arbikie estate, allowing the distillery to specifically tailor it to complement the gin’s botanical flavors. Gold SF World Spirits Competition Arbikie Nadar Gin 86PF / 200ML / 750ML Climate Positive Gin. Meaning ‘Nature’ in Gaelic, Nàdar harnesses the power of nature and science to create the world’s first climate positive gin made from peas. A revolutionary spirit for the spirits in dustry, with a carbon footprint of -1.54 kg CO2e per 700ML bottle, Nàdar is at the forefront of fighting climate change and biodiversity loss, the biggest challenges humankind has ever faced.

GIN & JENEVER... same but different.

Gin and jenever both contain juniper, as well as botanicals such as coriander, anise and citrus peel, and bittering agents like orris root or angelica. The difference actually lies in the raw material used to make these distilled spirits. For gin, this can be anything–from the malted barley, to grapes or potatoes. For jenever, however, it’s always (and only ever) made from grains such as rye, corn and malt ed barley. It’s for this reason that many drinks ex perts describe jenever as the halfway point between gin and whisky. And, just like whisky, jenever can be either unaged (jonge) or aged (oude). Finally, while gin can be made anywhere, jenever can only be produced in Holland or Belgium, and designat ed parts of France and Germany. — GINSOCIETY.COM
