Raw material to bottle
Raw material to bottle
When we say that a gin is made from the raw material to the bottle, it means that the manufacturing process is done entirely in the distillery. So the base alcohol used was made and distilled in the distillery, then processed using botanicals to create a gin, all on the spot. The raw material can be grain, honey, maple, fruits, berries, whey and more.

Recommended tonics
1 - Aromatic tonic
Aromatic tonic
With aromatic tonic, it is better to use a very tasty juniper gin (richer and more robust). The aromatic tonics bring an additional flavor to the gin thanks to more spicy notes (ex: cardamom, ginger) but at the same time sweet (ex: vanilla).
Recommended garnish: Slice of cucumber or juniper berries.
2 - Light tonic
Light tonic
With light tonic, it is better to use a more pronounced gin (ex: aged or juniper berry-based gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The light tonics bring the same traditional taste and the same bitterness as the classic tonics but they are lighter in calories thus leaving more room for the dominant flavors present in some gins.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or orange.
3 - Classic tonic
Classic tonic
With classic tonic, it is better to use a drier gin (London dry gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The classic tonics are the most usual and they bring a nice bitterness that perfectly complements the taste of all gins.
Recommended garnish: Lemon, grapefruit or cucumber slice.

"In the 1800’s distillers proved their gin was suitable for British Royal Navy Officers by pouring their gin over gunpowder and igniting it! Our Navy Strength Gin is a contemporary twist with boosted citrus notes of sweet orange and lemongrass, then rested for two months in our corn whisky barrels for added roundness. A surprisingly smooth gin considering its high alcohol content."
