Gin description
Think back to the first time you actually picked a tree ripened citrus fruit and scratched the rind. For us the RAW citrus oils, the acidic bold aroma, and the fresh flavour infused into that smell shook our belief of what we thought citrus fruit tasted like. So the big question we asked ourselves was how do we put that experience in a bottle? First we mashed glacier fresh water with wheat sourced from local Alberta farmers. Wheat allows bright citrus flavours to be showcased without distracting from its core flavour. Wheat also lends a mild, smooth silkiness that balances this crowd pleaser. Next we distilled select botanicals that specifically enhance this expression of gin. Our goal is to compliment the tart, citrus aroma of a tree ripened fruit. Finally we had to roll up our sleeves and zest RAW citrus fruit by hand!
