Only the heart of the once-a-year distillation finds its way into Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin Goldcap. Dried Riesling Grapes Orange Verbena and Cretan Melissa from their own cultivation at the Saar & Mosel as well as Macedonian Juniper and Italian Mountain Juniper lend this extra small batch a very special character of its own. Only the best of Ferdinand's treasury, a 2017 Rausch-Auslese Goldkapsel is used for the infusion. The incomparable concentration and density of this Goldcap selection makes this distillate a unique limited bottling. Pot still production in small batches. The raw distillate produced from their own grain is distilled several times to form the basis for a selection of hand-picked herbs, spices and fruits, which are carefully macerated to produce an eau-de-vie. The addtional use of a steam infusion of freshly harvested herbs, adds unique fresh floral notes to their gin, which is rounded off with a precise measure of the 2017 Rausch-Auslese Goldkapsel. Having been left to rest, Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin Goldcap is set to a drinking strength of 49% abv.
