El:Gin Small Batch Scottish Gin
Details
Being distilled and bottled in Elgin, Moray. With over 25 years experience in the drinks industry this is what makes El-gin “no ordinary gin”. The Scottish oats add a soft creaminess to the gin adding to the complexity and mouthfeel – but don’t worry as the oats are added before distillation we are still gluten free.
Process - While we use the same recipe for every batch given the small nature of production each batch is never going to be completely identical – this makes the gin truly craft. They distill in a small copper pot still over a direct heat which allows them to manually control the distillation, allowing them total control of the botanical flavour profile. Finally they check the quality by rigorously nosing and tasting every batch before hand filling, sealing and labelling.
Taste - They believe the overall flavour is like Crananchan in a glass. They have tried to make a very versatile gin that is equally good straight on ice, with tonic or as a cocktail base. Wanting to move away from a “ginny” gin so they have added Scottish Oats, local fruits and top quality botanicals so it is part of the cast but definitely not the leading role.
Crafted in the heart of malt whisky country. Batch distilled in a traditional copper still.
