LEMON KIBBLED

Distilling with citrus in gin is an art form that adds a vibrant and refreshing dimension to the spirit. At The Gin Pot, we celebrate the bright and invigorating flavours of citrus, harnessing the zesty zest of lemon, the tangy tang of orange, and the vibrant vibrancy of grapefruit to create gins that are as lively as they are unforgettable.

The zesty zest of lemon is like a burst of sunshine in every sip. Its bright and citrusy aroma uplifts the spirits and adds a refreshing tang to your gin. Distilled with care, lemon peel infuses your creation with a zesty kick that dances across the palate, awakening the senses and tantalizing the taste buds.

Kibbled lemon refers to small, dried fragments of lemon peel that have been chopped or broken into uniform pieces. These pieces may contain both zest and pith, providing a concentrated source of lemon flavour and aroma.

Distilling gin with kibbled lemon can yield a more intense and concentrated lemon flavour compared to ribbons. The smaller size of the pieces allows for greater surface area contact with the spirit, enhancing the infusion process and resulting in a robust citrus character. The inclusion of pith may also contribute to a slight bitterness or earthiness.

The aroma of gin distilled with kibbled lemon tends to be bold and assertive, with deep citrus notes that permeate the air and evoke images of vibrant lemon orchards.

Kibbled lemon is often used as a botanical during distillation, added to the still alongside other botanicals to infuse the spirit with its potent lemon essence.

When distilling with citrus, it's essential to capture the essence of each fruit while maintaining balance and harmony in your blend. By carefully selecting the finest citrus peels and employing precise distillation techniques, you can create gins that are bursting with flavour and brimming with character.

The beauty of citrus lies in its versatility. Whether you're crafting a classic London dry gin or experimenting with bold and innovative flavour combinations, citrus peels provide endless opportunities for creativity. Mix and match different varieties to create unique and exciting blends that reflect your personal style and taste preferences.

In summary, whether using lemon ribbons or kibbled lemon in gin distillation, both methods offer unique opportunities to infuse the spirit with vibrant citrus flavours and aromas. The choice between the two may depend on factors such as desired flavour intensity, aroma profile, and textural preferences, allowing for tailored experimentation and creative expression in gin-making.
