Feather & Folly Gin
Tasting Notes
Feather & Folly Gin opens with distinct aromas of juniper berries, fresh orange zest and coriander spice. The palate begins with juniper and orange, followed by a subtle sweetness from the licorice root and a touch of earthiness from the angelica. The finish is dry and refreshing with a subtle hint of exotic black lime.
Ingredients
6 UNIQUE BOTANICALS:
- Juniper Berries: Slightly piney flavor with a touch of both fruitiness and pepperiness.
- Black Lime: A versatile ingredient with a famously savory and tart flavor.
- Licorice Root: Bitter-sweet taste with anise notes.
- Angelica: Mysterious earthy and floral flavors.
- Coriander: The nutty aromas come to the forefront, though at the expense of all that lovely citrus.
- Orange Zest: Citrus and tangy flavor.
Fermentation
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested from Goose Ridge vines and pressed. The pressed grapes are then fermented until dry, about 12-15% ABV.
Distillation
Following fermentation, the wine is pumped into the still. The alcohol is separated from the wine while distilling through a series of 24 copper distillation plates. The batch is then macerated with the six signature botanicals for up to 48 hours. At the peak of maceration, the botanicals are separated from the mixture and double distilled using a copper pot still. Lastly it is chill filtered and blended using pure water to showcase the essence of the botanicals.
Bottling
This new age gin is hand bottled at a slightly higher ABV to assure a bright, full-flavored spirit. Vegan and Gluten-Free.
