Privateer Seasonal, Tiki Inspired Gin

A molasses based spirit, which is then infused with herbs, freshly ground spices, and hand-zested citrus from the height of the winter season. We steep these ingredients for two nights and one day to allow the intense aromas of the herbs to infuse without over-extracting undesirable bitter flavors. We then redistill this spirit for a third time, marrying our cane spirit's character with the aromas and flavors of our gin. We ripen the gin for 3 months in a stainless steel tank to allow further flavor development. Our ingredients are sourced from the finest purveyors to ensure fresh oil-rich spices of the highest quality, and to avoid the stale aromas often associated with gin. All of the citrus is freshly zested to avoid harsh pith, or the loss of the aromatic oils. We only distill our gin once a year and bottle it unfiltered for added depth and texture. Botanicals include grapefruit, cinnamon, pineapple, pomegranate, allspice, green cardamom, mango, key lime, and meyer lemon.
