Arto's Gin Recipe V3

[artooks]

Hi Everyone,

After making many gin experimentations, I came up with a very good gin that I really enjoyed and wanted to share it with you, I also have this recipe on my other thread but I wanted to create a dedicated thread for this gin recipe. I always wanted to make a gin with some ingredients locally available and experiment with different botanicals, so in this recipe, I used, linden tree blossom Dry Sage leaves, and Earl Grey Tea, After trying several times, I really like the idea to grind all the botanicals very finely and leave them at %60 ABV spirit for 4 hours and 30 minutes, so this is what I did with this recipe, grinded all the botanicals even the dry citrus peels and this increased the surface area for the botanicals to be extracted in the %60 ABV spirit, once the maceration is over I then diluted it to %43 ABV and run it very slowly, I collected 400 ml as usual, it comes around %84 ABV I then calculate the amount of water needed to dilute it to %45 ABV, leave the spirit and dilution water for 24 hours in room temperature, I then slowly pour the spirit over the water in small amounts, giving a small swirl between fillings, one thing I always experience is how harsh the smell is once you dilute the spirit but when you taste it, it is ok but when you smell it really give a slight burning feeling due to the water does not combine with water instantly, but give in 2 days it smells awesome, and leave the spirit for aeration by putting a coffee filter to cover it out, I believe a 2 week wait is more than enough for the spirit to be consumed, Try it and I believe you will like it.
