Saffron Gin

Saffron Gin is produced in Dijon, France at the distillery of Gabriela Boudier. The gin was launched in 2008. Great emphasis is placed on handcrafted processing during its production. It is made in traditional copper pot stills in small batches.

Saffron Gin is made from nine fresh botanicals including: juniper, coriander, lemon, orange peel, angelica seeds, iris, fennel, and saffron. The herbs are macerated in wheat distillate before the actual distillation, which best reflects the style of London dry gin.

The master blenders believe that macerating the botanicals together is unique, while separate distillation would lose the desired effect. Only the rarest spice in the world – saffron is added at the end, for color and exotic flavor nuances (150,000 saffron flowers = 1kg of dry spice).
