More Product Information
You might have heard of the Benton’s Old Fashioned, a bacon-infused bourbon cocktail created in New York by Don Lee using a technique known as “fat-washing”. Excited by this technique, we used butter to give this gin its unique character. First, we distilled the gin with three types of corn: kernels, Kellogg’s and popped popcorn and the we butter-washed it, before freezing it to allow us to remove all the fat. We undertook a rather important poll at the distillery whilst concocting this creation: sweet or salty? The results that came in were split. So, we’ve used salty butter alongside vanilla and liquorish to create a sweet and salty effect.
