LEMON RIBBONS

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 

Lemon ribbons are slender strips of lemon peel, typically cut or peeled from the fruit. These ribbons often contain both the fragrant zest and a small amount of the pith, offering a combination of citrus oils and subtle bitterness.

Distilling gin with lemon ribbons imparts a fresh and vibrant lemon flavour to the spirit. The oils from the zest provide a burst of tangy brightness, while the presence of some pith adds complexity to the flavour profile, potentially introducing a hint of bitterness.

The aroma of gin distilled with lemon ribbons tends to be lively and aromatic, with pronounced citrus notes that stimulate the senses and evoke images of sunny lemon groves.

Lemon ribbons can be utilized as a botanical during the distillation process or added to the still alongside other botanicals to infuse the spirit with their citrusy 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.

At The Gin Pot, we're passionate about citrus-infused gin and the endless possibilities it offers. Explore our selection of premium citrus botanicals and embark on a journey of flavour discovery.

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.
