Gin description
Angelicus Gin is produced in small batches (200 bottles per batch) in a traditional copper still that was designed by prof. dr. Sas from Sas Distilleries. It includes elements of old Belgian famous columns and stills. Angelicus Gin is based on an old medicinal recipe from the Eighty Years’ War (1568–1648) from which later on Dutch jenever was derived from, and later on gin. All botanicals used were known (and some still are) for their beneficial influence on the gastro-intestinal system. The name Angelicus refers to one of the herbs used i.e. angelica root. This herb gives the Angelicus Gin its distinctive body (after)taste. Angelicus Gin is very herbal gin and is quite loaded with phytochemicals from the herbs used. This gin contains up to 7 times more phytochemicals in comparison to some other gins. Therefore, the gin becomes opaque at lower temperatures.
