Product information "Pienaar & Son Empire Gin"
Pieenar & Son Empire Gin, the gin produced by a father and son duo, is a wonderful homage to one of the oldest gin traditions in the world. Distilled on a base of South African corn, the result is a gin that perfectly combines the spices of Bo Kaap, Cape Town's colourful district, with cucumber and lime. In a handmade distillery a symbiosis of gin tradition and what the Malays once brought to the Cape is produced. In the nose it shows a rich bouquet of spices. In addition earthy notes of cucumber and a top of fresh lime peel. The bouquet of spices ranges from juniper to a little aniseed. On the palate it shows a tangy elegance, you can feel the great clear brandy of corn, which perfectly blends the spices, cucumber and lime. One is in the early years of gin, when cucumber became more and more popular as a botanical, always with the unobtrusive taste of juniper berries in the finish.

Die einzelnen Botanicals und Zutaten entsprechend ihrer Aromen, werden von mehrere Monaten bis zu wenigen Stunden mazeriert und mit destilliert. Bei der Mazeration werden die Pflanzen vor und während des Destillationsprozesses in dem Alkohol des Destillierkessels eingeweicht. Für den Empire Gin werden Gewürze übernacht eingeweicht und dann mit Wacholder und Koriander während des destillationsprozesses gekocht. Der Brennvorgang erfolgt im Kupferkessel, in kleinen Batches. Danach werden die Flaschen von Hand nummeriert und verpackt
