Nginious Smoked & Salted Gin

Gin description

Like all Nginious Gins, Smoked and Salted Gin has first been distilled in seperate batches and subsequently blended. Seperately from juniper we have distilled bitter oranges, quinces, coriander and ginger. The real surprise, however, is the use of chestnuts in an own batch. Before the maceration these were intensively cold-smoked for 40 hours. The lend the nginious! Smoked & Salted Gin its special smokey flavour. However, the flavour doesn't dominate the gin. The smoke, like the other botanicals, is a component which harmoniously integrates into the composition, whilst chestnuts give the gin its structure. For the final refinement of the blended gin a rare smoked stone salt from the Swiss Alps is added. To create "Sel à l'Ancienne" the brine is dried up in a large basin in accordance with a manufacturing process, before the salt crystals are spread on larch tree boards and finally smoked. The salt enhances the different aromas, and yet does not dominate the over all flavour.
