Gin Blue Gin Vintage (Austria)

The first two processes for the production of BLUE GIN are already extraordinary. The valuable raw material is distilled in small copper pots of 300 litres producing the first raw distillate with 40% by vol. alcohol. The so-called pot still method is considered one of the gentlest methods, since no overheating takes place. The wheat variety “Mulan”, which grows and is harvested on upper-Austrian fields, is used as basic raw material for the production of BLUE GIN. The second distillation (rectification) produces a distillate with 84% by vol. alcohol, which actually fulfils all requirements of the high quality for BLUE GIN.

During maceration under ideal conditions the aromas are carefully extracted and authentically conserved in the fine grain alcohol. After approximately two to three days the composition of grain alcohol and botanicals undergoes a third gentle distillation again following the pot still method in which the solid components of the botanicals are separated from the alcohol. During this distillation the otherwise volatile aromas and the grain alcohol are concentrated to produce the high-proof preliminary stage of BLUE GIN.

We use 27 botanicals to create a unique gin flavour: fresh, elegant juniper aroma with fragrant lemony and spicy facets. The typical Reisetbauer Stylistic: at the same time brilliantly clear and refreshing as well as elegant an lively. Juniper is the most important botanical in BLUE GIN. The juniper berries must meet the highest quality standards: we use only fresh juniper berries from the latest harvest with the typically Mediterranean spiciness.

For BLUE GIN we also use the following spices: lemon rind, angelica root, cilantro seeds, turmeric, liquorice and many more. The high-quality botanicals originate from more than fourteen countries: Egypt, China, Spain, Indonesia, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Romania, Turkey, the USA, Vietnam and more. Using whole and wherever possible fresh spices guarantees the best quality and the best flavour for our premium product – BLUE GIN.
