No. Gin 209 750ml

The distillation process uses a pot still to extract flavors and alcohol in vapor form which is then captured and condensed into gin. It is both an art and a science, but most experts agree that the finest gin is produced using single-shot distillation in a copper alembic pot still. Each distillation takes nearly 11 hours, not including the overnight maceration process.

No. 209 Gin’s base spirit is four-times column-distilled from Midwestern corn and has a smooth, almost sweet finish. The water used is pure snowmelt from the Sierra-Nevada Mountains. After letting our botanicals macerate slowly in our Forsythe’s copper alembic still overnight – gently coaxing out the natural flavors so our gin always taste bright, never bitter, we distill the product a fifth time. Then we discard the heads (beginning) and tails (end) of the distillation. Only the heart (middle) of the distillation is pure enough to be bottled as No. 209 Gin.
