GIN SERIES
When we started producing gin, we decided that our gin would be a single malt gin - meaning it would be made from 100% malted barley, just like our whisky. We add a lot of juniper and origanum syriacum (zaa'tar), lemon peel, orange, chamomile, verbena, cinnamon, and black pepper, and infuse the selected spices for 48 hours. Then we distill the gin for the third time, and that's how we produce all four of our gin types: Levantine Gin, Oak Aged Gin, Peated Gin, and Navy Strength Gin. You are invited to read more about each of them further down the page.
