Everyone else is making gin, so we did something different: a juniper-free botanical spirit. It’s spicy, citrusy & mixes really well with tonic. AND IT’S NOT A GIN. To make Escubac, we macerate 14 botanicals, including caraway, cardamom, nutmeg and citrus for 72 hours, then we slowly distill them in our custom copper pot still. The spirit is then lightly sweetened with raisins and vanilla, and naturally coloured with saffron for a pale-yellow hue. (Producer’s notes)
