It all started in 2010, when the founders of Brooklyn Gin, Emil Jättne and Joe Santos, sat down to produce a high quality handmade gin in their own terms.
On the distillery, they perform everything in hand. It takes more time and requires more forces, but they believe that it can be tasted in the very first slurk.
The distillery uses a Christian Carl copper boiler. Each batch gives 300 bottles gin and the process takes three days. The gin is distilled by local fruits and a base spirits made by 100% American corn that derive from small, American farms.
