GIN

ALKKEMIST SPAIN ALKKEMIST Gin acquires its personality from the full moon’s influence. Its distillation during the full moon holds an intimate relation with the mystery around its formula. A making process that takes place under the moon. Keeping immortality, a safe secret. Art, inspiration, creation ... And a halo of immortality. Alkkemist Gin 80PF / 700ML / 750ML Alkkemist Gin is born on a base of grain alcohol 3 times distilled. Made in traditional copper alembics, with a quadruple distillation with only the heart of each distillation extracted to obtain a pure mixture, guarantying a perfect fusion between grain and 21 carefully selected botanicals. The first gin made with Samphire and Muscat grape. adding an exquisite, exclusive scent. 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. 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. 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 industry, 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.

BOOMSMA NETHERLANDS is the most traditional of the Dutch Genever-style gins made from malted barley distillate and a delicate juniper berry infusion. Boomsma Jonge Genever 80PF / 750ML Light and elegant... The palate is what sets this genever apart from the average gin: though the botanicals are delicate and subtle, this is a satisfyingly full-bodied yet incredibly smooth spirit. Its delicate blend of botanicals is best savored on the rocks, though it also makes an excellent Martini or Gin and Tonic. 90pts Excellent/ Highly Recommended, Wine Enthusiast Boomsma Oude Genever 80PF / 750ML A rich, weighty, full-bodied spirit crafted with wheat spirit, malt distillate, and oak barrel aging. While it displays all the juniper notes you could hope for in a genever, it also integrates rich vanilla, apple, and baking spice notes. 94pts Excellent/Highly Recommended, Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2016 Boomsma Oude Genever Artisanal 5yr 80PF / 750ML A rich, weighty, full-bodied spirit crafted with wheat spirit, malt distillate, and oak barrel aging. While it displays all the juniper notes you could hope for in a genever, it also integrates rich vanilla, apple, and baking spice notes. 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 malted barley. It’s for this reason that many drinks experts 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 designated parts of France and Germany. GIN & JENEVER... same but different.
