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 - Elderflower tonic
Elderflower tonic
With elderflower tonic, it is better to use a fresher gin (ex: cucumber) or a more floral gin. Elderflower tonics provide additional floral flavors that complement the flavors of the gin well.
Recommended garnish: Lemon slice.
2 - Citrus tonic
Citrus tonic
With citrus tonic (ex: lemon, yuzu), it is better to use a sweeter gin (ex: sloe gin). The citrus tonics bring a more bitter touch and an additional freshness thanks to the citrus fruits in these tonics allowing to balance the sweeter notes present in the gin.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or 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.
