(And it wasn't to save money ;-)) We wanted to create a big, balanced gin that you could drink -- even straight -- without wincing...or flashbacking to the first time you got drunk in high school. <BR/><BR/>The only production technique that allowed us to pull this off harked back to how this stuff was made in the 1500s by doctors all over Europe. It's direct-contact maceration without re-distillation. This is how we’re able to retain the fresh taste and delicate balance of our botanicals. (And that's how we can achieve the clean profile that Neyah’s referring to.)<BR/><BR/>Our unorthodox methods result in a full-flavor gin that lets you taste the complex botanicals in a more mellow, less sharply concentrated state. The amber color is the true color of the 14 whole ingredients that went into making the gin.<BR/><BR/>As a result, TRU2 gin doesn't behave exactly like distilled gins but opens up a host of new ways to prepare gin cocktails.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Melkon Khosrovian<BR/>spiritsmaker<BR/>Modern SpiritsMelkon Khosrovianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666951198551836736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19610171.post-55043616950722096702008-10-10T03:41:00.000-07:002008-10-10T03:41:00.000-07:00I am sorry, but this stuff just ain't gin. Junipe...I am sorry, but this stuff just ain't gin. Juniper infused vodka does not behave the same way in cocktails that gin does.<BR/><BR/>I rolled out 3 drinks when a sample bottle came my way, a martini, a french 75 and a last word. Nope, nope, nope. None were bad, (this is not a bad product, very clean in fact) but they were clearly not made with gin.Neyah Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223621977514331795noreply@blogger.com
