A KNOW-HOW IN FULL EVOLUTION
Many distilleries consider gin primarily as a way to finance aged spirits through a shorter production cycle, without aging. At the Arbre Sec Distillery, we have made it our expertise!
Our expertise is rooted in each stage of production.
We start with a careful selection of ingredients, working closely with French producers who carefully cultivate the plants and herbs needed to make our gins.
The magic then works during macerations, where the plants infuse into neutral alcohol, thus revealing all their aromatic richness. Each maceration is adapted according to the plants chosen, playing with the times to obtain subtle or intense aromas.
Thanks to our Holstein still, we also control the distillation process, adjusting the parameters according to the specificities of each batch. This artisanal approach allows us to pay particular attention to every detail, guaranteeing spirits of exceptional quality.
Finally, the reduction of alcohol completes our production process. This last step is crucial in order to achieve the perfect balance of our gins. We approach this stage with patience and delicacy, gradually reducing the alcohol level. This slow and controlled reduction avoids any aggressiveness and allows the flavors to harmonize, thus revealing all the complexity of our gins.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
Gin is a spirit made from neutral alcohol and plants. It may or may not be distilled. The secrets of its manufacture are often based on the types of botanicals used, their quantities, the type of maceration, infusion, distillation etc.
But it is still quite rare to know the origin of the products used.
Where do they come from, how are they made or grown?
We chose to make our gin using only French ingredients. Certainly in order to try to limit the ecological impact as much as possible, but also because we know that our territory is full of high quality wild plants.
These ingredients all come from responsible crops: often organic and/or biodynamic, but sometimes also from permaculture or even wild harvesting.
