Description
As beautiful as the large flowers of the hibiscus bloom in summer, they also make our Triple Peak pink label special. Because they give this dry gin not only a summery pastel pink, but especially its unique fruity-nutty note. Paired with the classic gin botanicals juniper and coriander, this Piekfeine Triple Peak is a wonderfully refreshing summer gin.
This gin was created at Lockdown. Gardener Bea Behrens provided us with all the flowers from the cultivation of her hibiscus perennials. Now this is no longer possible. The flowers must remain on the perennials for sale.
Sensory description
- The scent of this gin convinces with its uniquely fruity note. On the palate, it is also fruity, with its nutty notes and green salad aromas coming to the fore.
Production
The beautiful hibiscus flowers used in this gin can grow up to 25cm in size. Similar to a juniper-heavy base gin, the flowers are first macerated in neutral alcohol, including their five sepals, petals, and stamen. After a specific amount of time, the alcohol from these macerations is slowly distilled in a small 130-liter still, resulting in a spirit that is no longer neutral but instead has an intense aroma and flavor of hibiscus or juniper. These individual distillates are then blended to create this fresh and fruity gin. The distillates are filtered using activated charcoal, and only water is used to dilute the gin before bottling. No flavorings or sugars are added.
