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 - Boreal tonic
Boreal tonic
With boreal tonic, it is best to use a woody / forested gin or an herbaceous gin. Boreal tonics bring an additional woody / forest flavor to the gin with flavors of spruce and juniper present in these tonics.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or orange slice.
2 - Cucumber tonic
Cucumber tonic
With cucumber tonic, it is better to use a dry gin. Cucumber tonics bring extra freshness to more traditional gins thanks to the more herbaceous flavors brought by cucumber. These tonics are also often lower in calories (like light tonics).
Recommended garnish: Grapefruit slice.
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.
