Gin description
Griffon is made using Washington grown corn and barley. We include premium botanicals such as juniper berry, coriander and cardamom as well as a couple confidential aromatics in the distilling process. We are confident you will approve. Griffon is made from start to finish at our distillery in Battle Ground. Our copper still and spirit towers are made in Germany and considered state of the art for craft distilleries. We do not purchase NGS (Neutral Grain Spirits) and then re-distill them like some other craft distilleries do. We prepare the corn and barley mash, we pitch the yeast allowing fermentation to take place, and then we distill the mash a minimum of three times including adding premium botanicals to the last phase of the distillation process. The end product is clean and pure. We pride ourselves in that the “burn” typically associated with spirits has been removed by our painstaking but rewarding process. You will find Griffon Gin to be pleasantly aromatic, smooth, warming and with great texture. The initial notes allow a light juniper aroma and mild spicy taste, followed by a hint of citrus with a sweet after taste. Our recipe is based on 80% corn, which creates the subtle sweetness and smooth finish you experience. We intentionally keep the botanical base mild.
