3 Elements of A Craft Gin

Ever wonder what makes certain types of gin craft gin? Here are some insights from our gin distillery in Melbourne (you can pop in for a fun gin making class in Melbourne too!)

 


 


 

 

#1 - The Craftsmanship

 

Craftsmanship is the difference between a chair from IKEA and one that’s been hand-carved by a woodworker with decades of experience and an eye for artistry. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with IKEA furniture, just that it’s mass-produced rather than being a one-of-a-kind item. Craft gin is a little like that – each batch is handcrafted by a distiller and their small team; they know every element in that batch, have hand-selected each botanical themselves, and work on the gin each day to ensure the flavours are just right.

 

#2 - Small Batches

 

Craft gins are made by small, artisanal businesses like our gin distillery in Melbourne, so the batches are pretty limited in the numbers of bottles produced and each one is a little different. This is very different to how other gins are made – mass-produced in huge commercial distilleries and shipped to every store in the country, if not the world. At our gin making class in Melbourne, you’ll get to taste the latest results, compare them to other small-batch gins that have been produced and explore the different and unique flavours we create.

 

#3 – Evolution

 

Because our gin distillery in Melbourne is a craft gin producer with limited batches, we’re constantly evolving and trying new things – new techniques, new botanicals, new flavours. There’s a strong element of creativity when it comes to making craft gin that isn’t there in mass production runs. When you try out our gin-making class in Melbourne, you’ll see exactly what we mean! While there’s a lot of science and skill at work, there’s also a passion for innovation and creativity that drives us to truly explore gin rather than simply produce it.
