It is the result of the collaboration of three women: two second generation distillers and a dynamic presence, with extensive experience and knowledge in the beverage industry.
Tasting Characteristics
Aromas of pepper and cinnamon are easily found on the nose, while myrtle blossoms enhance the aromatic complexity. In the mouth it is oily, due to the 4 vapour infused ingredients, while the naturalness from juniper and kritamo appears immidiately and combines well with the spice character of coriander, pink pepper and cinnamon. At the same time, earthy elements shape the background. The spicy flavours remain in the finish.
The Process
Its uniqueness lies in the rich aromatic character, borrowed from the botanical elements of the Greek mountains and the Greek sea. It isd efined as handmade, so as to emphasize on the way the ingredients are selected and combined, in order to aromatize the neutral grain distillate. The term "distilled gin" is interpreted as the 100% traditional method of distillation in pot, combined with the techniques of the most capable perfumers. The producers of Grace Gin researched and experimented for twelve months with the recipe, until they came up with the 13 herbs and extraction techniques they would use. So, first they applied discontinuous distillation to flavour the alcoholic base with 8 herbs: juniper berries, angelica root, orris root, citrus fruit peels, cardamon, coriander and cassia. Then, they picked the distillation heart and aromatically enhanced it with the process of water vapor distillation, the technique used to produce essential oils. In addition to the original aromatics, they added spruce leaves, myrtle leaves and orange blossoms from Evia and combined them perfectly with kritamo from Crete and pink pepper. To keep the aromas rich and lively, only a subtle filtering was applied. Grace Gin has an alcoholic strength of 45.7% vol and its main aroma is juniper, which does not hesitate to drift the incredible character of kritamo and schinos.
