Yardarm Distilled Gin

Gin description

We make our base spirit from unmalted barley and oats blended with malted barley, using a traditional infusion mashing process to convert the starch in the grain into sugars. The clear wash, containing the sugars is then collected and fermented off the grain. Once the yeast has done its work and all the sugars have been converted to alcohol its then distilled a minimum of 3 times. Finally the spirit is vapour infused with botanicals in our conical Carterhead. Our carefully selected blend of unmalted cereals and malted barley produces a dry spirit with a distinct grain character. The perfect backdrop for a big New World gin bursting with botanicals. Yardarm is a big gin infused with juniper from Montenegro (without the juniper it wouldn't be gin!), coriander, citrus, pink peppercorns, hops and lemon myrtle, 14 botanicals in all. We always try to use the botanicals we grow on the property or sourced locally whenever we can.
