Craft Gin

Craft Gin is a term used to describe small-batch, artisanal gin produced by independent distilleries that prioritize unique botanical blends and traditional distillation techniques. Craft gin makers often focus on quality, creativity, and distinct flavor profiles, creating gins that cater to the adventurous and discerning consumer.

History

The craft gin movement emerged in recent decades, in parallel with the broader craft spirits trend. These small, innovative distilleries aim to revive the traditional art of gin-making, using high-quality ingredients and often experimenting with a wide range of botanicals. Craft gin represents a return to the artisanal roots of gin production, showcasing a wide array of flavors, and redefining the boundaries of what gin can be. Furthermore, sustainability often plays a significant role in craft distilling. Many craft distillers have a commitment to eco-friendly practices, such as using organic ingredients, reducing waste, and minimizing their environmental footprint. By sourcing local and organic botanicals, reducing their energy consumption, and using recycled materials, craft distilleries are leading the way in sustainable gin production.
