Incredible Gin Infusions
In Summer 2006, we started a tradition and created a sensation. We made two infusions with our Distiller's Gin No. 6, each of which had an amazing and unique flavor. In one batch, we infused medjool dates from Israel. In the other, we infused a rare Ceylon tea blend. We made only one batch of each product, and once they were sold out, they were gone.
The flavors and colors in these spirits came solely from the infused ingredients - no flavorings, extracts or sweeteners were used.
Medjool Date Infusion (84 proof)
We ventured into uncharted waters, using a fruit that was neither en vogue nor over-commercialized (which is what attracted us to it). This surprisingly delightful infusion graced the palate with a complexity of date and spice flavors married together to form a symphony of tastes that finished with a delightful sweet note.
Ceylon Tea Infusion (90 Proof)
With our passion for gin and for tea, we searched around for a number of months looking for a tea to pair with No. 6. Then we came across a wonderful Ceylon black tea from, of course, Sri Lanka. Full bodied and bold, but not bitter, the tea married exceptionally well with Distiller's Gin No. 6. This incredible spirit was delightful in a variety of cocktails, adding a rich tea note to almost any classic gin cocktail.
We continued this tradition in 2007 with the introduction of Rhuginger No. 6.
