Silent Pool

Silent Pool Distillers sources most of its ingredients locally, and continues its research process to create a unique ultra premium gin that tells us about a region and its essence.

The process that leads to the creation of Silent Pool Gin is divided into 4 main stages.

- The maceration of the herbaceous botanicals: the bitterest botanicals are soaked for 24 hours in a tank with neutral grain spirit and water. These include, among others, coriander seeds, cardamom, cubebe, bitter orange peel, juniper from Serbia, angelica and liquorice root.

- The floral and volatile botanicals, on the other hand, are soaked for 24 hours in a smaller tank. Among the known components are lavender, rose, elderberry and camomile.

- Before distillation, a basket with fresh botanicals (orange and lime peel, dried pear, juniper from North Macedonia among others) is added to the top of the still: during distillation, the steam from the escaping alcohol passes through the botanicals, which add character to the gin.

- Customised hybrid stills allow for a perfect balance. Before the distillation process begins, however, 3 more botanicals are added directly: these are bergamot, fresh pear and, above all, locally sourced honey, one of the most distinctive elements of Silent Pool gin.

The result of this painstaking production process is a robust and nuanced gin with a great depth of flavour dominated by floral, juniper and herbal hints, with a finish dominated by the round sweetness of pear and honey. An aromatic richness that makes it particularly suitable for the preparation of a wide range of classy cocktails.

Even the packaging reflects the great attention to detail: the aqua-green shade of the bottle evokes the extraordinary colour of Silent Pool, and its handcrafted copper motifs depicting botanical illustrations recall ancient legends about this magical place.
