Gin

Kaspers Elderflower Slow Gin

• Gin is typically made from a grain-based spirit to which botanicals are added. By contrast, our innovative approach starts with the hand-picked elderflower which is fermented and double distilled. Ten botanicals are then added, seven of which are commonly used in gin and three are from the local biodiversity rich wildflower meadows of Transylvania.
• We then distil a third time to produce our unique drink that retains the refreshing floral notes of elderflower but now combined with the distinctive taste of gin from the juniper berries. Our small batch distilling uses the traditional equipment and skills passed down through generations, but we have added some modern science to guarantee quality and consistency.
• We established our social enterprise in Saschiz, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 with the objectives of buying our raw materials (flowers, fruit and vegetables) from the community and we employ local people to produce our jams, chutney and cordials. This is to ensure a sustainable approach that puts people and the environment at the heart of what we do. Our production is based on traditional skills and the innovative use of local ingredients.
