The juniper berries and the botanicals are soaked in the alcohol for two weeks (maceration). All botanicals and the juniper are then individually distilled. The basic gin (juniper) is cooled to zero degrees Celsius, then filtered twice. The botanicals are then added to the basic gin according to the secret recipe. Before bottling, the Falco Gin is stored for 2 weeks in order to have enough time to maintain a balanced harmony.
Taste: Fruity nose with a pleasant juniper note, which offers many balanced facets.
Finish: In the finish, the gin is fine but still intense, with a slight peppery note. The cardamom lengthens the finish and gives the gin a slightly sweet note. - Alcohol content: 43 vol.%
Useful information:
Sandro Gianini, Moreno Gasser and Alain Illi founded Maurice Richard GmbH in 2015 and thus the three heroes became passionate creators of Falco Gin after a discovery phase. In 2017 they created the recipe for Falco Gin in many entertaining evenings. The three lateral entrants had a small mobile distillery at their disposal, with which they elaborately produced various distillates of various botanicals in order to mix and taste them with the basic gin. At some point they had found the final recipe, now all three heroes were completely convinced of their gin. The colored falcon head that adorns the label reflects the company owner and the gin. The colors signal the fruity freshness of the gin. The falcon (Italian: Falco) exudes personality and freedom, the freedom that the three have taken to create their own gin. At the end of August 2019, the Falco Gin was awarded the highest possible award "Double Gold" at the China Wine & Spirits Awards (CWSA) and is therefore the first Swiss gin to be awarded double gold at the CWSA. At the Swiss Craft Spirits Festival 2018 in Basel, the Falco Gin was also voted the crowd's favorite and prevailed against 15 other gins. To the delight of the three young entrepreneurs that their gin is very well received by the general public.
