Dry gin is the best for me because I really like to discern between the different subtle botanicals and try to guess what they added in. :)

Beer, Wine and Spirits Interesting info but I had to skip back and pause to read the text. Using a simpler sans-serif font and lowercase style will help.
Plymouth Gin (kept in the freezer) for martinis. Tanqueray Rangpur for an easy and consistently excellent G&T. Finally, Hendrick’s for the most sublime mix of botanicals. I am always open to try new gins but these three are always on hand.

@@drinkdestinations also Arak orang Tua the taste identical with jager with slightly acidic taste, but other product like anggur merah, Iceland, anggur putih taste sucks. Sorry to be honest
Dylan Keppler thanks for taking time to comment and Australia is definitely on the list. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone dealing with the fires in Australia. Hope all is well and when I make it to Perth, first round is on me. Cheers, -Jeff
This may not answer your question, but for me they all have a place at the table and each one for me depends on the environment and whose drinking with me. For example, When I’m drinking with people who love brandy, there passion and explanation of what is being sipped enhances everything and I’m tasting the same amazing brandy that when I tried it again by myself I’m like, “I remember this tasting better.” Just like corona beer on the beach tastes way better then on my couch. For me, I’m more of a whisky guy and love cocktails that are made with whisky. That’s my palate. But there is nothing better than a great G&T or a great fruit brandy from the Balkans. Sorry, i guess I’m the wrong guy to ask, or I would be doing just gin, or just whisky or brandy. Lol. Cheers, -Jeff
I am the only one in my family who drinks gin .I can't understand why .Its a classic spirit used in so many cocktails . My favorite is gin and tonic My youngest brother detested gin .He drinks vodka , Jack Daniels and craft beers .
I love a good G & T and trying different flavoured tonics with it. To each their own I guess. But with the right combo of flavors that you enjoy, gin and tonics are absolutely amazing. What’s your favourite gin? Mine is botanist gin.
something I always wanted to know: Why do distilleries distill to very high levels of alcohol (85 in this case) only to add back water after to lower it to a more "normal" percentage? Why not stop the distillery right at 40% for example if that's where' you're gonna end up anyway?
It comes down to flavor and separating chemical compounds to get desired ethanol and congeners. When distilling, ethanol has lower boiling temp. Than water and you capturing a higher ABV. %. If you would capture at lower strength and at the beginning of your distillation, the more volatile compounds like acetone, acetaldehyde etc. its why you hear terms like head, hearts, tail cuts distillers use during distillation.
ZoruaZorroark really great to hear and so glad that we can give value to people who don’t drink as well. It is also our goal. Thanks for taking time to comment. Cheers, -Jeff
Thanks, I’m glad to hear and our goal for our episodes is to be interesting for everyone. One person may like beer, but may not like wine and find out wine episodes interesting. Cheers and appreciate you taking time to comment. -Jeff
Gin has been made 'by mistake' by the English in an effort to make Jenever so instructed by a few Belgian Jenever distillers. Gin is derived from Jenever.
It almost is a tradition now: Another interesting name you have here though this time not because of the meaning but because of somebody sharing the same name. Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, also known simply as "Fürst von Pückler" is probably distantly related to this gin maker and was a quite interesting person. He was a count with vast lands, a military man (lieutenant general) and traveler (sounds familiar, doesn't it?) but he is mostly known for his park where he spent vast amounts of money and developed a new concept of landscape gardening (though I am no expert in that and cannot tell you much about that). He also was a writer and most Germans know the name Pückler because of an ice cream with three different flavours in one block. I believe you call it Neapolitan ice cream in English even though the oldest known recipe comes from a Prussian cook who honoured Pückler by naming it after him. How pretentious to call the Gin "Duke" when the von Pücklers were mere Counts... just kidding of course!
Quentin Peruzzi I honestly can’t remember what the music is we used for it. I can try and search for it, but Shazam may be a better option and a lot faster. -Jeff
Wow, super cool. Thanks for sharing. I promise I’m just as ugly in person as I am in Manipur. Hahahahaha cheers and hope you are enjoying the episodes. -Jeff
Thanks for the comment. You are correct, We didn’t film making the neutral grain spirit. Only started from the maceration. Future episodes we will definitely touch on that. -Jeff
aem tacusaped you know it bro! I’m excited for our new episodes coming out in 2020! Cheers and thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Love reading what you guys think about the episodes! -Jeff
So my question is... Why do you need a second distilation when you already have a mixed your distilled product with water? Also if you do a second distillation is it legal to name your product "Dry Gin" ?
Steve great questions. Dry gin follows very strict guidelines which Duke Gin follows. It may not be the same recipe or distillation process as other distilleries but they do work off a neutral base spirit of agricultural origin, that has already been distilled to over 96% ABV. Dry Gin must be (re)distilled to at least 70% ABV. It can only be watered down to a minimum strength of 37.5%, it must contain no artificial ingredients, contain only a min. amount of sweetener and cannot have any flavour or colour added after distillation. Of course, as with all gins, the predominant flavour must be that of juniper berries. I have seen different production methods in different distilleries. I’ve seen vapour infusing also seen due to the different volatilities of the flavour molecules, the distillers mix together all the distillate from each gin run to ensure a consistent taste to their products.
@@drinkdestinations Thanks for taking the time to respond to me mate, with such a good answer. It really helped! Starting bartender here who is trying to know a bit more for the spirits he serves ;)
Steve Stifler glad I can help brother! I’m always learning and getting better everyday man. I actually just started a new series called drink destinations highlighting bars/bartenders around the world. So much respect in what you are doing? -Jeff

Loving the video thank you for the information! The third step that you wrote is confusing because your grammar is a little wack. Xoxoxo good job!!! You’ve got a cool life..
Kim Crystal hahahahaha love the comment thanks. Noted and I’m doing a gin episode later this year and will make up for the “whack grammar” I promise . Cheers and thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate the feedback. -Jeff
It depends on what type of gin the distillery is making. London dry gin variety is subject to the strictest manufacturer specifications in the gin sector: artificial flavours cannot be added during the distillation phase; ethanol must only be of agricultural origin and must have an alcohol content of precisely 95%; botanicals may only be added at the beginning of the distillation process - in any other gin variety, these additives may be added at any time during production and distillation.
I think he was talking about proofing the alcohol down with RO water. Can you send me a time stamp of what your referring to and can answer better for you. Thanks, -Jeff

Raju Ac 🙏🙏🙏
Can you please tell me the bgm used for your intro.
I am so sorry, I have no idea what we used, it’s been so long ago. I used epidemic sound for this episode and music selected. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations that music was awesome so I asked. Thank you and thanks for your reply.
Gouthaman Y no worries, thanks for the support and taking time to comment. Couldn’t do this without ya! Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations ☺️
It almost is a tradition now: Another interesting name you have here though this time not because of the meaning but because of somebody sharing the same name. Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, also known simply as "Fürst von Pückler" is probably distantly related to this gin maker and was a quite interesting person. He was a count with vast lands, a military man (lieutenant general) and traveler (sounds familiar, doesn't it?) but he is mostly known for his park where he spent vast amounts of money and developed a new concept of landscape gardening (though I am no expert in that and cannot tell you much about that). He also was a writer and most Germans know the name Pückler because of an ice cream with three different flavours in one block. I believe you call it Neapolitan ice cream in English even though the oldest known recipe comes from a Prussian cook who honoured Pückler by naming it after him.
How pretentious to call the Gin "Duke" when the von Pücklers were mere Counts... just kidding of course!
Hahahahaha this is really cool info. Keep them coming brother.
Gin 😍
Hahahahaha exactly!!👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff
do most gin producers purchase the base grain alcohol from other manufacturers?
I can’t speak for them, but it is one method I have seen. I can see why, it is more convenient, especially on the 💵 side. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations for sure otherwise its like having two companies which makes no sense profit wise like you said
what's the name of the track during generic at the beginning?
Quentin Peruzzi I honestly can’t remember what the music is we used for it. I can try and search for it, but Shazam may be a better option and a lot faster. -Jeff
Watching from Manipur..hai
Wow, super cool. Thanks for sharing. I promise I’m just as ugly in person as I am in Manipur. Hahahahaha cheers and hope you are enjoying the episodes. -Jeff
It looks like they infuse already made spirits. So, there is no fermentation going on in this factory. Or did I miss it?
Thanks for the comment. You are correct, We didn’t film making the neutral grain spirit. Only started from the maceration. Future episodes we will definitely touch on that. -Jeff
"Get to de choppa!" Great guys though.
Florian Roderburg 😂😂😂😂

Me too! 😀😀
Middle Eastern Mediterranean liquor is best of best
So my question is... Why do you need a second distilation when you already have a mixed your distilled product with water? Also if you do a second distillation is it legal to name your product "Dry Gin" ?
Steve great questions. Dry gin follows very strict guidelines which Duke Gin follows. It may not be the same recipe or distillation process as other distilleries but they do work off a neutral base spirit of agricultural origin, that has already been distilled to over 96% ABV. Dry Gin must be (re)distilled to at least 70% ABV. It can only be watered down to a minimum strength of 37.5%, it must contain no artificial ingredients, contain only a min. amount of sweetener and cannot have any flavour or colour added after distillation. Of course, as with all gins, the predominant flavour must be that of juniper berries.
I have seen different production methods in different distilleries. I’ve seen vapour infusing also seen due to the different volatilities of the flavour molecules, the distillers mix together all the distillate from each gin run to ensure a consistent taste to their products.
@@drinkdestinations Thanks for taking the time to respond to me mate, with such a good answer. It really helped! Starting bartender here who is trying to know a bit more for the spirits he serves ;)
Steve Stifler glad I can help brother! I’m always learning and getting better everyday man. I actually just started a new series called drink destinations highlighting bars/bartenders around the world. So much respect in what you are doing? -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations I've already checked it out mate. You are doing an amazing job! If you ever find yourself in Athens, Greece hit me up. I'd be glad to show you what the bar culture and hospitality means to us, greeks.
Steve Stifler I sure will brother. Thanks so much👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loving the video thank you for the information! The third step that you wrote is confusing because your grammar is a little wack. Xoxoxo good job!!! You’ve got a cool life..
Kim Crystal hahahahaha love the comment thanks. Noted and I’m doing a gin episode later this year and will make up for the “whack grammar” I promise . Cheers and thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate the feedback. -Jeff
Interesting! Please keep up with the uploads, maybe come to oz some day and sample our home liquors ⚡
Thanks I really appreciate it! It’s definitely on my list of places to travel. Cheers, 👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff
Heaven~

If they add artificial flavorings or sugar they can keep it secret right? In the label I mean
It depends on what type of gin the distillery is making. London dry gin variety is subject to the strictest manufacturer specifications in the gin sector: artificial flavours cannot be added during the distillation phase; ethanol must only be of agricultural origin and must have an alcohol content of precisely 95%; botanicals may only be added at the beginning of the distillation process - in any other gin variety, these additives may be added at any time during production and distillation.
small amount of sugar of 0.1 to 0.5 g per litre can be noticed in some varieties.
@@drinkdestinations thank you so much, i just started learning about gin!!! Cool video too
With all the respect but this guy should not wear his hair opened like this in the factory. But overall a nice and entertaining video
Thanks and really glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
Alcohol water? Could you be more specific please?
I think he was talking about proofing the alcohol down with RO water. Can you send me a time stamp of what your referring to and can answer better for you. Thanks, -Jeff
