Make your own authentic premium Gins! Our thoughtfully curated botanical packs are designed to replicate the distinct flavours of popular gin styles. Ideal for use with a gin basket to craft top-quality gins, mimicking the procedure used in commercial distilleries.
Dutch Style Gin will produce a traditional Dutch Jenever style gin.
Description
Instructions:
Pour approx. one-third of the botanicals into 2.5L of ~40% ABV spirit and allow them to soak for up to 24 hours. (Note: Soaking in higher-strength spirit, such as 90+% ABV, can extract harsh or off-flavours from the botanicals, so it’s important to stick to ~40%.)
After soaking, strain out the botanicals and pour the flavoured spirit into your boiler. Top up with cold water to the MAX fill line.
Place the remaining botanicals into a Pure Distilling Gin Basket and attach it to your condenser.
Begin distillation. You should collect approximately 2.25L at an average strength of ~40% ABV. The spirit will initially come off at around 70–75% ABV, gradually decreasing as the run progresses. The main “hearts” cut typically comes off between 30–50% ABV. Stop collecting once the boiler temperature reaches 98°C.
Note: We reference ~40% ABV here because if all collected distillate was combined in one jug, the overall average strength would be close to 40%. However, we recommend collecting in separate fractions—heads, hearts, and tails—to allow for better control over flavour and quality.
