The spirit world is buzzing with a new trend: organic gin. As spirit lovers become increasingly eco-conscious and discerning about what they consume, the demand for sustainable and organic options has never been higher. But what exactly is organic gin, and how does it differ from its non-organic counterparts? Keep reading as we delve into the world of organic gin to help you make an informed choice for your next tipple.
What Makes Gin Organic?
Ingredients
The primary ingredient in gin is grain alcohol, usually derived from wheat, barley, or corn. In organic gin, this grain must be grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Production Process
The production process for organic gin typically avoids the use of chemicals and artificial additives at each stage. This not only includes the raw materials but also the distillation process, which needs to be free from any chemical contaminants.
Why Choose Organic Gin?
Taste
Many aficionados argue that organic gin offers a cleaner, more nuanced flavour profile. Without the interference of chemicals or artificial additives, the botanicals' natural flavours can shine through.
Health Benefits
While it might seem odd to discuss health benefits in the context of alcoholic beverages, organic gin is free from harmful chemicals and synthetic ingredients, making it a cleaner option for those who choose to imbibe.
Environmental Impact
Organic farming practices are generally better for the environment, involving crop rotation, conservation, and responsible waste management. Choosing organic gin means supporting these sustainable practices.
