This first dry gin of the collection is both distilled and compounded, starting with a traditional copper pot distillation of juniper berries, angelica root, orris root, coriander seed, cassia bark, almond, orange peel and lemon peel before a maceration of saffron threads, fennel seeds and a hint of strawberry. This secondary production stage preserves the delicate flavours the three botanicals contain whilst also adding a mouthfeel that would typically be lost with a distilled beverage. To finish, the gin is unsweetened and diluted to a bottling strength of 45% abv.
