Grain neutral spirit (at 96% ABV) is infused with the all-natural flavors and aromas of BULLDOG Gin’s 12 distinctive botanicals inside a copper pot still. This allows the botanicals to macerate in the spirit before distilling, to release their essential oils, resulting in the creation of vapor. The resultant vapor passes through a condenser and is reliquefied to produce an essence. As a result of this, the “heads” (volatile compounds with low boiling points) and “tails” (volatile compounds with high boiling points) are separated from the distillate. The resulting essence (measured at 76% ABV) is compounded further with a wheat-based grain neutral spirit. The liquid is broken down with demineralized water to the required strength for bottling (40% ABV). Upon meeting discerning aromatic and flavor standards, only then can it be bottled and labeled as BULLDOG London Dry Gin. ABV: 43% | Bottle Size: 700ml A G&T with pepper?? That's how Bulldog prefers it.
