At Skeptic Distillery, they produce our gin using processes rarely used in the industry. First, we filter our base spirit in the same manner as their vodka for exceptional smoothness and to remove impurities. Next, they soak our unique recipe of fresh ingredients and botanicals directly in the base spirit for 5 days. Last and most importantly, Skeptic cold vacuum distill the infused spirit in our one-of-a-kind, custom-built vacuum column still at below room temperature (approx. 50F); a process which preserves delicate flavors and aromas that are normally cooked out or altered under standard distillation temperatures.
The resulting gin is an award-winning, ultra-smooth, intensely flavorful yet balanced, citrusy and aromatic gin that will elevate any cocktail to new heights. The flavors are a mélange of citrus, fresh fruit, spices and botanicals. So smooth and flavourful, it can be enjoyed neat or in your favorite gin cocktail.
90 Proof, 45% ABV. 750 mL.
