Myken Arctic Dry Gin

Gin description

Our gin is made from our new make malt spirit, which has first been twice distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills. The spirit is then mixed with crushed botanicals, including juniper (some of it locally sourced at Myken), coriander, citrus, grains of paradise, liquorice root, etc. Two special ingredients are hand-picked in Myken: seabuckthorn (Tindved) berries, and leaves of King’s crown (Rosenrot). After steeping for at least 24 hours, the spirit is re-distilled with the botanicals in place, again in a direct-fired copper pot still. The result is recognisably gin, but with a distinct flavor that highlights its origin. The gin may turn cloudy when diluted with water, ice, or tonic – this is due to the fact that none of our products are chill-filtered, as we believe that process takes away some of the desired flavor components.
