- Silver medal. Distillation Method
- Zephyr is a premium Gin produced by re-distilling neutral grain spirit with natural botanicals such as juniper berries, citrus peel, & coriander seeds but also elderflower & elderberry. Elderflower is a powerful botanical & requires special attention during the production process. Zephyr, produced in small batches in a 60 year old copper pot-still called Constance (Connie) & named after their head distillers mother. All the selected ingredients are heated in a copper pot still so that the flavours & aromas are released into the spirit vapour giving Zephyr its unique flavour & character. The resulting spirit is then blended to produce high strength gin of about 94% ABV. It is then reduced in strength prior to bottling. The Blu uses the same base as Black with an added natural blue colour & a natural elderberry infusion (added after distillation).
