Ten Tor Seasonal Gin - Summer 2017

Gin description

Our gin adventure began on one of our family walks on Dartmoor when we came up with an idea to produce a seasonal blend gin. A handcrafted gin that reflected its place of origin by using an inspiring selection of locally foraged ingredients that would change with the seasons and produce a distinctive gin experience. We believe that nature has many exciting berries, plants and blossom combinations still waiting to be discovered. That’s why we embarked on a mission to match traditional gin botanicals with wild, local, seasonal ingredients to create a refined and elegant gin that will always be unlike any other. Why the name Ten Tor? - Ten, for our base 10 traditional botanicals and Tor, for the distinctive granite outcrops on Dartmoor, a place as unique as our gin. We do things a bit differently at Dartmoor Spirit - rather than soaking and stewing our precious botanicals in spirit before distilling we undertake a more delicate and reverent process known as 'Vapour Infusion'. This method holds all of our gin botanicals in a fine mesh 'gin basket' within the Still, as the heated spirit vapours rise the unique flavours of our botanicals are gently released and join together in a tantalising vapour infusion which then passes through our copper condenser. The resulting captured gin spirit is then carefully blended with pure Dartmoor spring water to create a premium quality, unfiltered London Dry Gin that reflects creativity, character and provenance.
