We are working on our 3-step maceration procedure, where only juniper berries are still added to the wheat spirit, diluted to 48%. This first bleeding takes place for 24 hours and is partially heated. After 24 hours, we add coriander and allow the bleeding to continue for 18 hours. After we heat it up to approx. 72 degrees Celsius, soak the rest of the spices for approx. 3 hours before the temperature goes more than 78.3 degrees Celsius and the procedure distillation is started. The distillation takes about one business day, so the total procedure takes about 53 hours.After adding the distillation, water and spirit to dilute the gin just above the correct ABV and taste. The København Classic Gin can rest for about 10 days in a marriage tank to weld the final flavor. The licorice and pine essences are extracted from natural pine and licorice root. That pine easily takes up a lot of space in the flavor spectrum of gin, so to provide a controlled and balanced space for juniper we thought that pine essence was the best way to put it into the mix. The reason we use dry licorice root and licorice essence in maceration is simply because we tried different combinations, and the version with both had the smoothest taste.
