German Gin Production: Interesting Variations
Gin production in Germany follows similar principles to gin production worldwide, with a few variations based on distillery practices and regional preferences. Some key aspects of German gin production are, for example, the base ingredients: Typically made from grains, such as wheat, barley, or rye, however, some distilleries in Germany use alternative base ingredients like potatoes, grapes, or even wine, which can impart unique flavors to the final product.
In terms of production German gin is typically produced using the process of maceration and distillation. The botanicals are added to the base spirit and left to infuse for a certain period. The spirit and botanical mixture are then distilled in traditional copper stills, which helps extract the flavours and aromas from the botanicals. Some distilleries employ multiple distillations to refine the gin and achieve desired flavour profiles. Find out more at Chilled Wine!
