Saffron Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Melt the sugar in a saucepan on medium heat. When the sugar gets brown, lower the heat to start to get light amber color and set aside. Straight, in a strong martini, or paired with a more bitter tonic such as Q, the saffron is there and part of what is a very nice blend of traditional gin ingredients. Sadly, mix it with anything more poignant and the saffron is gone. We also produce a 50% Blue Agave & 50% Cane Spirit. A Blanco (clear) as well as a Barreled “Reposado” and Añejo style versions. One way to fully enjoy Saffron Gin?s incredible taste is in a ?Raspberry Thyme Smash?. Dig out your shaker and throw in a handful of raspberries and a sprig of thyme. Muddle them together and pour in 60ml Saffron, 30ml lime juice, and 20-30ml sugar syrup, depending on your sweet tooth. Shake well and strain into an old-fashioned glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a small sprig of thyme and 1 or 2 raspberries and enjoy. The raspberries create a brilliant contrast to the saffron, while the thyme and fennel complement each other well and strengthen the spirit?s herbal taste slightly.

Saffron is a spice that is often used in savory dishes, but it can also add a unique and exotic flavor to your drinks. Gabriel Boudier Saffron Gin is said to be based on a recipe found in the archives. It’s an East (saffron) meets West (gin) interpretation. The saffron is added via post-distillation maceration, hence the beautiful Golden hue. Tasting Notes From the bustling streets of Rome to the picturesque canals of Venice, Italian bartenders have been perfecting their craft for centuries. And now, their unique and flavorful creations are gaining popularity in bars and restaurants around the globe.The company behind Gabriel Boudier Saffron Gin has been connected with distillation since the 1870’s. Founded as the House of Fontbonne, they began producing liqueurs in Dijon, France.

Valuable for our ancestors as an antibacterial (and its healing functions are still very relevant), today it has also known a glam turn thanks to gourmet cooking and mixing to create spectacular color games." Saffron We at NOCO Distillery believe in doing business that benefits not only us but the rest of the community as well. Colorado Springs - Denver - Fort Collins - Greeley - Las Vegas - Loveland - Sheridan - Thornton - Wellington - Wheat Ridge - Windsor We produce numerous vodkas. A Premium & Super Premium Vodka. Our "house" vodka is distilled at least five times and filtered through custom filtration tubes. To ensure its purity, we distill our Super Premium Vodka minimum of 7 times, travel's an equivalent‎ of 1 mile or 1.6km during this repeat filtration process, and bottled at 55% ABV (110 Proof). We will be producing once a year a "Bleue," the original style absinthe from a 4th generation family recipe.Saffron seems to have originated in western Asia travelling from there to India. By the tenth century it was being grown by the Arabs in Spain. The Moors are said to have brought it to Italy, France and Germany by the thirteenth century. This review is for the 55% ABV version of Old Raj Dry Gin. It begins with a classic set of botanicals among which are juniper, citrus, coriander, cassia, and other classics. But what really sets it apart is is slight golden tint, which is a result of the post-distillation addition of saffron. I make this in a similar way to limoncello, with some added sugar, so it’s sweeter than regular gin, meaning you can drink it straight over ice or in a gin and tonic.

But recently, saffron has been gaining popularity in the world of mixology, with bartenders experimenting with different ways to incorporate this spice into their drinks. As much as possible, we source raw materials from local producers. Much of the botanicals and fruits we use in our craft spirits are produced right here in Colorado. By doing so, we reduce our operation’s carbon footprint; locally sourcing raw materials means a shorter distance to travel and thus lesser fuel consumption. It also maximizes our positive impact on the local economy. By purchasing from local businesses, we increase the income of local producers. This, in turn, provides locals with more work opportunities, directly or indirectly increases' locals' spending power (which boosts the local economy even more), and increases the government's tax earnings — the Colorado proud way. Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. It can be used for various culinary purposes, from stew to drinks.The story of the history of saffron is interwoven with myths. Ovid wrote that Smilax changed her pursuer Crocos into a flower, leaving the red stigma as a symbol of his passion. Another myth describes Hermes, the messenger to the gods, wounding his friend Crocos by accident. Blood dripping from Crocos's head fell on the ground, where Hermes changed it into the flower. Zeus is also said to have slept on a bed of saffron. Cinnamon, Coriander, Elderberry, Ginger, Grains of Paradise, Lemon, Lemongrass, Mango, Orange, Pineapple, Star of Anise, Rose, Rose Hip, and Vanilla.

We will produce a 100% Blue Agave Spirit. A Blanco (clear) as well as a Barreled “Reposado” and “Añejo” style versions.

Overall, Old Raj Dry Gin

The saffron notes don’t come through strong enough to really recommend it as a saffron-forward mixing gin. Want to indulge in some luxury? Now, not only can you enjoy the juniper-flavoured goodness of gin, but saffron has also been added into the mix. Saffron is so fragrant that even the smallest amount is enough to transform a recipe. Used mainly in Indian and other Asian cuisines, the spice is reserved for only the finest dishes and is extremely expensive. The spice isn?t just simply thrown in for good measure; its use is carefully thought out and calculated. Saffron Gin, as you may have already guessed, contains this heavenly spice, but also contains many other top-quality botanicals. Joining the classic juniper berries, and not to forget the saffron, the gin also contains fennel, coriander, both lime and lemon peel, and angelica root. This winning combination of fine ingredients makes a premium gin which will excite your taste buds. In the modern day, Gabriel Boudier still makes a Creme de Cassis as the House of Fontbonne did upon its founding; however, they line has since expanded. We outsource what processes we can to other local companies. For instance, we contract some of our wash to local breweries and complete the fermentation in our distillery. Which is not only efficient but also produces more work for the local community. We produce an Aquavit, made from 100% Organic Wheat neutral grain spirit and aged for up to a year in small five-gal ex-single malt barrels.
