Diep 9 Young Grain Genever Gin

From its origins being double distilled in a copper pot in Belgium, the makers of Diep 9 Young Grain Genever have always put a higher priority on getting the very best out of its product, and not trying to shortchange the process. That means a lengthier aging method and smaller batches, which means smaller profits, but also great gin. The family recipe that's been around for the past century includes the traditional trio of wheat, malted barley and rye, but also throws in nine different botanicals that include some exotic additions like carob and thistle. That number is where this product gets its name. During the distillation process, those botanicals are added to the malt. When the first aroma hits, touches of cinnamon, vanilla and citrus converge, with a peppery sensation also emerging. That leads to the palate getting a sense of spice bread when it first touches the lips.
