Distilled & Compound Gin
Distilled gin: flavor derived by distilling neutral spirit with botanicals (steeped or vapor infused). Compound gin: flavors extracted by maceration/infusion and blended without redistillation.
Production Differences
- Distilled: cleaner top notes; separation by cuts; often labeled “Distilled Gin.”
- Compound: flexible, cost‑effective; can show heavier or more literal botanicals.
Flavor & Use
- Distilled: classic clarity; versatile in cocktails.
- Compound: expressive, sometimes rustic; suited for creative serves and RTDs.
