The distillation process of Brockmans Gin takes place in a traditional copper still, which is known for its ability to create a clean and pure spirit. This particular still is carefully monitored by skilled distillers who have honed their craft over many years. It is a true labor of love, as they pay attention to every detail to ensure the final product is of the utmost quality.
What sets Brockmans Gin apart is its unique combination of botanicals. In addition to the traditional ingredients typically found in gin, such as juniper berries, coriander, and angelica root, Brockmans also incorporates blueberries and blackberries into the mix. This infusion of berries adds a luscious fruity flavor and a subtle sweetness to the gin, making it an incredibly enjoyable and versatile spirit.
The choice to use blueberries and blackberries was not made lightly. It was inspired by the founders' love for these berries and their desire to create a gin that stood out from the crowd. The result is a gin that not only pays homage to the classic gin tradition but also offers a unique and modern twist.
The citrus peels used in Brockmans Gin also play an important role in its flavor profile. These peels, sourced from various citrus fruits, add a refreshing and zesty note to the gin, balancing out the sweetness of the berries and creating a harmonious taste experience.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting and experiencing Brockmans Gin firsthand. Its smoothness and complexity make it a fantastic base for cocktails, but it also shines when enjoyed neat or on the rocks. The balance between the traditional botanicals and the fruity infusion is truly remarkable.
