Copper Frog Gin
70cl, 42%
Copper Frog distilling takes pride in consistency; all botanicals are sourced from a wide range of dealers who specialise in botanicals such as Tuscan juniper berries, delicate Moroccan coriander, and zesty lemon peel. “The Spirit of Exmouth” is made from only the finest botanicals available.
They use their handcrafted Copper still “Jenny” over an open flame since the distiller has considerably more control over the amount of heat used. They believe it gives the spirit a highly distinct texture and outstanding mouthfeel by developing flavours that can only be discovered with open flame distillation.
Distilling Copper Frog Gin over an open flame needs a deft touch and significantly more care than a column still or steam distillation. It also means that the gin is manufactured in smaller quantities, allowing the master distiller to precisely reject the ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ of the distillation, leaving just the valuable, flavourful ‘heart’ of the distillation.
Tasting Note
Lovingly distilled in small batches on the Exmouth coast, Simon Hughes uses steam distillation in his handmade, copper, Portuguese still called “Jenny.” Copper Frog Gin is a very well balanced gin with bold citrus and juniper flavours as well as coriander seeds, angelica and orris root and a number of secret ingredients.
