Gin Botanicals
Gin is huge at the moment and will continue to be into the foreseeable future.
But if I want to make a Gin, except for Juniper, what else can I put in my Gin?
Am I sticking to the old standards of Angelica Root, Coriander, and Citrus Peel, or am I going to be adventurous?
How do I choose Botanicals for Gin?
Anyone making Gin or doing Product Development on Gin should consider the following factors:
1. Should I go for a unique Botanical?
- Who else is considering it?
- Where am I going to get it?
- Is it safe and legal?
2. How many Botanicals am I going to use?
3. Are there any Logistical Implications regarding my
- Transport
- Import Permits
- Exchange Rate
4. What is continuously available throughout the year?
5. Will I still be able to find the Botanicals in large enough quantities as my Brand Grows?
Distillique provides a range of Botanicals (and can source almost any Botanical you may require) in small quantities for Product Development. We can then also provide the same Botanical and of the same quality in larger or Bulk quantities, if required.
