Craft gin traditionally began with high proof neutral spirits distilled with an array of botanicals, the most important of which is juniper berry. Today, many distillers of gin use botanical extracts to flavor their product. The use of extracts often results in a superior tasting and more consistent product at lower cost. Our extracts are made using only the finest quality natural essential oils and botanicals. We regularly add products for those creative distillers looking to expand the gin category by developing new styles and flavor profiles.
