Whistlebird Wildflower Gin 700ml
This is one of the most spectacular releases we've come across in the New Zealand spirit world. Introducing Whistlebird Gin - a revolutionary new gin that has been distilled with sound! That's right, distilled with sound.
Whistle bird was created by two madmen in Wellington, with a garage full of lab-grade equipment, a crazy idea, and a serious passion for gin.
They came up with their own unique and efficient method of distillation, by putting their botanicals in a bath of sound (dubbed the bird bath) engulfed by low frequency wave lengths which sound like a high pitched whistle.
Maceration occurs when these sound waves uniformly break down their botanicals through vibration, which harnesses more flavour from each ingredient, in a far quicker and more efficient distillation - ultimately ending up with a superior yield of gin on the other side.
As mad as all this sounds, we tried the gin - and it is seriously good. It starts with an extraordinary nose, which instantly shows off just how much flavour has been extracted from their 18 botanical recipe. To taste - it's citrus forward, nice and dry, with a lovely sweetness to it, floral spice notes dance around the juniper, ending with a long smooth finish.
Overall just a fantastic gin. Classic and versatile, with a symphony of flavours you could never get bored of.
