Acullá Distlleria Gin
Acullá Gin is made using both traditional and modern methods. Unlike most Gins, it actually uses wine as its base. This is a much more complex process as you must first make the wine and then convert it into the spirit. First, the wine goes through the copper pot still to create a low-proof spirit. Then, it is put into a column still to create a high-proof spirit. Finally, after it is proofed down, it makes another distillation through the copper pot still with all of the botanicals hanging inside. These include local wild juniper berries, guava, lavender, sage, fennel, coriander seeds, angelica root, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, rosemary, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, and peppers. Many of these botanicals are grown or foraged right at his farm, and the gin has beautiful, complex, citrus and floral notes.
