In the Welsh Wind Distillery's first original brand "Signature Style Gin" "Signature Style Gin" is produced at "In the Welsh Wind Distillery" on the west coast of Wales, England. Literally translated, it means "in the Welsh wind", and as the name suggests, the spirits are produced in a natural environment. The small distillery near a beautiful beach is run by Mr. and Mrs. Ellen Wakeram. Opened in 2018, In the Welsh Wind is committed to getting your business off the ground. We have cooperated with various other brands on OEM and produced many gines. (OEM: A sake brewery manufactures alcoholic beverages under other companies' brands) Before the renewal, NTG's distilled spirits were also produced by this distillery. After two years of experience, in 2020, the company's first brand, "Signature Style Gin," was completed. Instead of a business card to be a "signature" (signature/signature), We have released an original gin filled with feelings for Wales. The secret of the birth of "Signature Style Gin" This gin comes from the port of west Wales in the 19th century and the traditional Welsh food, cake. It was created with inspiration. There is a port city 4-5 kilometers away from the distillery. This port city of Newquay was home to cargo from all over the world during the 19th and 20th centuries. Expensive citrus fruits and spices that cannot be harvested in England are unloaded, Ships from all over the world gathered, and various supplies were coming and going. The deep history of British maritime trade and the long-standing familiarity of the people Traditional sweets, Welsh cakes and tea cakes. Ellen was inspired by two models and decided on the composition of the botanicals. 12 carefully selected botanicals "Signature Style Gin" uses 12 types of botanicals in luxury. ・Blackcurrant ・Grey tea (Earl Grey tea leaves) ・Juniper berries ・Sweet Orange Ribbon Bitter orange ribbon ・Lemon ribbon ・Laurel leaves ・Meadow Suite ・Angelica Route ・Nutmeg ・Cloves ・Ginger All botanicals are carefully selected from high quality, I was particularly particular about "blackcurrant" and "gray tea". Blackcurrants, dried like grapes, are soaked in black tea once and used. It adds depth to the taste of gin. Grey tea is a botanical reminiscent of British tea culture and the maritime trade of yesteryear. In the 19th century, the port of Wales delivered ingredients that were still valuable at the time, such as citrus fruits and spices. Overlapping the premium image of that era, For the gin, we have prepared three types of citrus fruits: sweet orange, bitter orange, and lemon. We use only dried skins with an oily aroma. The secret to the dense taste of "Signature Style Gin" The "Signature Style Gin" is characterized by its dense taste and light texture. This unique taste comes from the special attention to detail in the manufacturing process. It contains more botanicals than regular gin, and takes a long soaking time before distillation to extract the plant-derived oil. The unique manufacturing method creates a deep and oily richness, resulting in a satisfying finish. When tonic water is poured into a gin and tonic, the liquid changes to a faint bluish color. This is called the "loosening phenomenon". The essential oil components that had been dissolved in alcohol until then It occurs when the alcohol content decreases and does not dissolve in water and appears as fine particles, which diffuse the light. The loosening phenomenon is especially seen in alcoholic beverages that contain a lot of essential oils. You can also enjoy the attention to detail in the production of gin visually.
