DISTILATION PROCESS

Spice Islands Distilling – Gede Still 2

The art of distillation is where the magic truly happens.
Here’s a step by step overview of how East Indies Gin is crafted:

1. Maceration

We start by soaking the selected botanicals in a neutral grain spirit, letting their flavors infuse over time.

2. Distillation

Using a special 550L copper still named ‘Gede’, a nod to the Balinese term for the first child, along with a high-quality hybrid still from German manufacturer CARL GmbH. These stills are famous for their superior craftsmanship. The infused spirit is heated in the copper pot stills, where the alcohol vapor rises, carrying the botanical essences with it.

3. Condensation

The alcohol vapor then cools down in a condenser, turning back into liquid. This liquid, known as the distillate, is collected in 3 dierent parts that will be called “cuts”.

4. The Cuts

We carefully separate the heads (firstpart), hearts (middle part), and tails (last part) of the distillate. The hearts contain the best quality spirit with the perfect balance of flavors.

BOTTLING PROCESS

Once the flavors have melded and matured, we carefully fill each bottle with our crafted gin. Before sealing them, we meticulously ensure that each bottle meets our exacting standards and only the finest gin is inside.
Finally, we seal each bottle tightly to preserve its quality and freshness until it’s ready to be enjoyed
