ORO Strawberry, Black Pepper and Vanilla Gin uses the signature ORO Gin as the base, which is post-distilled infused with strawberries, cracked black pepper and Madagascan vanilla to create a rich, fruit infused full-strength flavoured gin. The layers of strawberry add fresh bursts of strawberry balanced with sweeter, creamy notes from the vanilla with a slight spice and warmth from the cracked black pepper.
Please note: sediment may develop over time but this is natural strawberry from the maceration process. The distillery pass the spirit through the finest micro filters but strawberry does have the ability to evade the filters.
The ORO Distilling Co. is a family owned venture that was established in 2017. The head distiller, Ray, is a scientist and graduate of the prestigious Heriot Watt International Centre for Brewing and Distilling. The distillery has been born out of the family’s desire to create gin that is based on a thoroughly scientific understanding of how different flavour compounds work and interact with each other.
Flavoured Gin
Flavoured Gins vary in flavour and colour. Often the gin will be infused with a flavour post-distillation through maceration or even the addition and blending of individual distillates or essences. Sometimes the gin will be created in one distillation. These styles of gin often have a key flavour which tends to lead the flavour profile, such as fresh berry fruit, citrus or any number of possible key botanicals and flavours. Although this gin style should still include juniper, it is often not the leading botanical.
Production
At the Dalton Distillery all gin is made in the time honoured way, that is by redistilling a selection of natural seeds, berries, peels and barks known as ‘the botanicals’, together with high quality neutral grain spirit. They macerate this mixture for 24 hours and distil using the ‘one shot’ method. That means the stills are charged with spirit, botanicals and water to the exact proportions of the recipe. No flavour and only water is added after distillation.
