Sakurao Gin Limited

Without deviating from the fruity and floral character of the signature Dry Gin, Ferdinand’s Cask Strength is bottled at a devilish 66.6% abv. This incredibly special bottling gives the perfect combination of potency and flavour, making it a must-stock item for the World’s best bartenders. Notes of juniper, lemon thyme and lavender predominate. The high alcohol content wonderfully emphasizes these aromas and gives extra bite to a Dry Martini.

An award winning range of products from the 200 year old Avadis Distillery, infused with Riesling from the 275 year old Zilliken winery; Ferdinand’s owes its name to the Prussian District Forester, Ferdinand Geltz, who also co-founded the VDP Mosel Saar Ruwer Zilliken estate, one of Germany’s finest vineyards. Carefully hand-picked Riesling grapes from the steep shale slopes of the Zilliken estate on the grand Saarburger Rausch site make our gin a unique taste experience. Pot still production in small batches. The raw distillate produced from their own grain is distilled several times to form the basis for a selection of 34 hand-picked herbs, spices and fruits, which are carefully macerated to produce an eau-de-vie. The additional use of a steam infusion of freshly harvested herbs adds unique fresh floral notes to their gin, which is rounded off with a precise measure of Schiefer Riesling. Having been left to rest for a period of 4 weeks in stoneware, Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin is set to a drinking strength of 44% abv using demineralized water, then finally bottled. Ingredients: 34 regional botanicals (thyme, sloe, rose hip), pot still distilled, proprietary grain spirit made from a blend of wheat, rye and spelt, Riesling wine infused. Tasting Note: Aromas of pine and juniper, pungent lavender, lemongrass, lemon meringue, vanilla, and coriander
