Cold Vacuum Distillation
Why it Makes a Difference
The benefits of this method are manifold, but at its core, cold vacuum distillation allows us to achieve a level of purity and flavor complexity that is unparalleled. By sidestepping the harshness imposed by heat, the true essence of each botanical shines through, creating a gin that's as nuanced as it is bold.
This is gin reimagined, a liquid symphony where every note is heard, every flavor experienced in high definition.
This innovative approach not only sets Conniption apart as the best American gin but also invites aficionados and newcomers alike to rediscover gin in a way they never thought possible. With Conniption, each cocktail is not just mixed; it's transformed, elevated by a gin that's been crafted not only with expertise but with a revolutionary vision.
Meet Gertrude: The Spirit and Art of Conniption Gin
Further enriching our journey of flavor is "Gertrude," one of two custom-designed pot stills in the world, a testament to innovation named after Melissa's grandmother—a spirited figure who often cautioned against having a "Conniption." Yet, in our distillery, having a Conniption takes on a whole new meaning. Gertrude isn’t just a still; she’s the heart of our operation, equipped with a vapor tray that intricately infuses each batch with the nuanced, delicate flavors of our botanicals.
This vapor infusion process is a delicate ballet of flavors, where botanicals are suspended on the vapor tray, instead of direct contact in the maceration technique. The botanicals are gently kissed by steam, extracting their essential oils without direct contact with liquid. The result? A gin that carries the dynamic, fun essence of its namesake and the precise, nuanced flavors of each botanical, woven into a smooth, harmonious spirit.
Sustainability Meets Precision
Gertrude is not only special for her role in creating Conniption Gin but also for her design, which reflects our commitment to sustainability and precision. As an electric-powered still, Gertrude allows us to have finer control over the distillation process, ensuring consistent, high-quality batches with a reduced environmental footprint. The customization of Gertrude, including her vapor tray, is a nod to our dedication to both innovation in gin production and the preservation of our planet. It's this thoughtful approach that embodies the spirit of Conniption: a blend of tradition and forward-thinking, of family legacy and modern sustainability.
