Audemus Spirits - Hoppy Gin - Batch n°3 - 44%
Audemus Spirits is a micro-distillery located in Cognac . It was founded by Miko Abouaf in 2013. He pioneered the use of a Rotovap rotary evaporator in France: by lowering the pressure inside the still, the temperature at which the alcohol boils is reduced, which allows the distilled botanicals not to be cooked and thus guarantees the freshness of their flavors. The maceration time, botanical ratio, alcohol, distillation time, pressure and temperature depend on the botanical character. Once all the botanicals are distilled, they are blended together with a French neutral grain alcohol. Audemus Spirits produces gin, liqueurs, bitters and hybrid spirits.
Hoppy Gin is a collaboration between Audemus Spirits and Brasserie Jukebox in Cognac. The base of the gin is an IPA beer , vacuum distilled with French grain alcohol. Juniper berry distillates and Columbus hops , a key ingredient in the original beer, are added to the recipe.
" A vibrant nose blending fresh hops and crisp juniper. On the palate, the texture is silky, with floral IPA notes and a controlled bitterness. Ideal twist: a gin & tonic with grapefruit zest, or a dry martini."
