ORANGE 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 tangy tang of orange brings a touch of sweetness and warmth to your gin. Its juicy and aromatic peel imparts a rich and fragrant flavour that balances perfectly with other botanicals. Whether it's the bright notes of Valencia or the deep, complex flavours of Seville, orange peel adds depth and complexity to your gin, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours.

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.

Kibbled orange refers to small, dried pieces of orange peel that have been chopped or broken into smaller fragments. These pieces may contain both the zest and pith, but they are typically smaller and more uniform in size compared to ribbons.

Distilling gin with kibbled orange can result in a slightly different flavour profile compared to ribbons. The smaller size of the pieces allows for more surface area contact with the spirit, which can lead to a more intense and concentrated orange flavour. The inclusion of pith may also contribute to a slightly bitter or earthy undertone.

The aroma of gin distilled with kibbled orange tends to be rich and robust, with deep citrus notes that linger in the air and evoke images of exotic spice markets and sun-drenched landscapes.

 Kibbled orange is often used as a botanical during the distillation process, added to the still along with other botanicals to infuse the spirit with their intense orange flavour and aroma.

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. From the zesty zest of lemon to the vibrant vibrancy of grapefruit, let citrus be your guide as you elevate your gin-making craft to new heights. 

In summary, while both orange ribbons and kibbled orange can be used to impart citrusy notes to gin, the choice between them can depend on the desired flavour intensity, aroma profile, and textural characteristics of the final product. Whether you prefer the bright zestiness of ribbons or the concentrated richness of kibbled orange, both methods offer exciting possibilities for crafting unique and flavourful gins.

Cheers to bright flavours and unforgettable experiences!
