The distillation is carried out five times and uses a system consisting of a single copper still surmounted by a distillation column. Aging is carried out in two types of barrels: first barrels previously used for bourbon and in the next phase, in barrels used for the production of Madeira.

Gin Brecon Special Reserve

4 /5

- Awarded "Gold Best in Class" at the International Wines & Spirits Competition 2011 Brecon Gin is a fine quality distilled gin using botanicals from the four corners of the world and bottled at Penderyn Distillery using water from the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park.
- The clarity and purity of Brecon Gin prevails in the clear tall glass bottle which also perfectly highlights the diverse range of botanicals. The list of botanicals and the naturalness of this gin will define a new category of drinkers.
- Taken neat, Brecon gin is a big traditional juniper gin laced with coriander and revealing hints of spicy cinnamon. Add a mixer and the citrus freshness of oranges and lemons appear with nutmeg, liquorice and angelica in a supporting role. The characteristic flavours go well with tonic, ice and lemon on a warm summer's day with a refreshing juniper in the lead role but Brecon's traditional heritage is equally at home besides a roaring fire on a cold night and will bring back memories of long hot summers past.

Única ginebra procedente de Gales. Una destilería muy pequeña, de producciones mínimas, con una filosofía muy clara “de producción pequeñas, pero exquisitamente tratadas creaciones; evitar crecer para no perder el sentido artesanal y tradicional de sus productos”.

Cinco destilaciones, los mejores botánicos alrededor del mundo, con agua pura de un manantial situado bajo la destilería.
Una ginebra que destaca por sus aromas cítricos y especiados, con una boca de sabores intensos y equilibrados.

Para mi gintonic: la sirvo en copa balón, hielo a tope (hasta llenar la copa), con la ayuda de la cuchara coctelera removemos el hielo para enfriar los cristales de la copa y eliminamos el agua que haya podido soltar.
Esta vez selecciono una rodaja de lima, piel de lima, previamente realizado un Twist y un regaliz negro a modo de pajita.
Momento de echar la ginebra (cuento 1001, 1002 y 1003) desde una cierta altura con el fin de que se oxigene y vertiéndola en círculo sobre el vaso para que entre en contacto con la fruta.
Y, por último, ayudada por una cuchara de espiral, añadiremos la tónica, muy lentamente. En esta ocasión elijo la Qtonic, con un carbónico ligero que no influya en la textura de la ginebra.

Perfecto equilibrio de botánicos estamos ante una de las grandes.
