Bulrush Gin is proudly crafted in Powdersville, South Carolina, a charming town located in the upstate region of the state. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the privilege of visiting the distillery and experiencing firsthand the meticulous process that goes into making this exceptional gin.
The heart of Bulrush Gin lies in its traditional 300 gallon stainless steel and copper pot still. This beautiful piece of equipment not only adds an element of charm to the distillery, but it also plays a crucial role in the production of this exquisite spirit. The combination of stainless steel and copper allows for precise temperature control and imparts distinctive flavors and aromas to the final product.
One of the key elements that sets Bulrush Gin apart is the use of a wheat-based spirit as the base for the gin. This choice of grain adds a smooth and creamy texture to the gin, providing a solid foundation for the botanicals to shine.
Speaking of botanicals, Bulrush Gin takes great pride in the quality and variety of botanicals used in each batch. The distillers carefully select and blend up to 40 pounds of botanicals, which are then macerated in the wheat-based spirit for a period of 24 hours. This extended maceration allows for the extraction of the intricate flavors and aromas from the botanicals, resulting in a complex and well-balanced gin.
During my visit to the distillery, I had the opportunity to witness the meticulous attention to detail that goes into the production of Bulrush Gin. The distillers closely monitor the temperature and timing of each batch, ensuring that the flavors are extracted to perfection. It was fascinating to see the art and science of distillation come together in such a harmonious way.
