Don’t sweat the technique

Base Material:

When making Woody Creek Gin, we start with our 100% potato Distillate at a botanical friendly 50% alcohol by volume (abv).

Botanical Breakdown:

Citrus: We use peels (no pith!) from fresh lemons and oranges; then for an extra twist we add fresh whole limes, cut into eighths, to the steep.

Lemongrass: Our lemongrass comes to us fresh and local from Osage Gardens in Rifle, CO.

Juniper: We use a blend of juniper, some dried European varieties and some hand picked local Rocky Mountain Juniper.

Coriander, Cinnamon, Angelica, Hibiscus, Grains of Paradise, Lavender, Cranberries & Rose Hips.

The Steep (aka Maceration):

Botanicals are steeped in our 100% Rio Grande Potato distillate (at 50% abv), in the copper pot portion of Maisy (pot/column hybrid still) for 18 hours.

Distillation:

Once all the flavors are sufficiently steeped in our potato distillate, we redistill through the column portion of Maisy, in one run, to 70% abv.

Dilution & bottling:

Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is added to bring the gin back down to a category correct 47% abv, after which our gin is ready for bottling.
