The Wilder Story: A Sip of the Wild
Wilder Gin isn't your average, everyday gin. No, sir. It's a craft gin with a wild heart, born in the rugged landscapes of Scotland. The brainchild of Wild Thyme Spirits, this gin is a testament to the power of nature and the spirit of adventure.
The story begins with the Wild Thyme team, a bunch of gin-loving rebels who decided to create a spirit that reflects their wild side. They wanted a gin that's as unpredictable and untamed as the Scottish Highlands, and thus, Wilder Gin was born.
The Wilder Way: A Wild Gin Making Process
Now, let's talk about how this wild child is made. The Wilder Gin making process is as unique as the spirit itself. Here's a sneak peek:
1. The Base Spirit: Wilder Gin starts with a base spirit of wheat, which is then distilled in a copper pot still. This gives the gin its smooth, clean foundation.
2. The Botanicals: This is where Wilder Gin gets its wild side. The team forages for botanicals in the Scottish Highlands, using only the finest, freshest ingredients. Some of the wild botanicals you'll find in Wilder Gin include juniper, coriander, orange peel, and wild thyme (hence the name, Wild Thyme Spirits).
3. The Distillation: The botanicals are then distilled in small batches, allowing the flavors to truly shine. The result? A gin that's as complex and wild as the landscape that inspired it.
The Wilder Taste: A Symphony of Wild Flavors
So, what does Wilder Gin taste like? Well, guys, it's a wild ride. Here's what you can expect:
- On the Nose: Wilder Gin opens with bright, citrus notes, followed by earthy juniper and a hint of wild thyme. - On the Palate: The flavor profile is as complex as the botanical list. You'll get citrus zest upfront, followed by spicy coriander and warm, earthy juniper. The wild thyme adds a unique, herbal note, while the finish is long and lingering.
