For the production of this uniquely noble, 7-fold filtered distillate, hand-picked flowers and herbs from the Berlin farm Speisegut in Gatow are sourced annually and added to refine the gin. The limited harvest quantity limits production to a few editions of 9,999 bottles per year. Bottling and numbering by hand guarantee the production, origin, and uniqueness of this product.
When asked about the secret of her long life, the arguably most legendary gin drinker of all time, Queen Mom, replied: “I love life. That’s the secret.” The love of life is ultimately also the secret of a good gin, but the basis is solid craftsmanship. Gin is a clear spirit produced on the basis of a high-proof alcohol distillate. In addition to its flavour-defining base note of juniper, its taste is refined by additional flowers, herbs, and spices. For the Berliner Brandstifter Gin, the same particularly high-quality 7-fold filtered wheat distillate is used as for the Brandstifter Korn.
The special feature is its 7-fold filtration, which enables an exceptionally high degree of purity.
Gin is classically distinguished into four types: the dry Dry Gin, the London Dry Gin, the sweeter Old Tom, and the spicier Plymouth Gin. The Berliner Brandstifter Gin belongs to the Dry Gins. These are characterised by an aroma note as a supplement to the juniper. Regarding the flavouring spices and herbs, there are basically no restrictions. For the Berliner Brandstifter Gin, however, the following applies: They must carry the spirit of the city within them.
