BOTANICALS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

Because the mixture and blends of botanicals and their flavors are generally closely guarded family secrets! Ketelkraal is here to save the day with sharing our combinations with you. It should be noted that not only the botanicals that you choose that make a signature distillate but also the way they react to each other. Significantly this has an enormous impact on your end product. However we suggest you create your own by experimenting with simple combinations and work with a more complex blend as you gain experience.

GIN INFUSION BOTANICAL KIT

How do I know which Botanical I would prefer for my Infusion?

Generally speaking it is suggested that as a beginner you take samples, (a shot glass), of a vodka of your choice and add each of your botanicals in tiny amounts to gauge the flavor and tastes you like. Ultimately infusion length depends on the botanical strength.

In fact once you have done that, choose two of your samples that you really appreciated the flavors of and combine them. In fact do that in as many combinations as you wish to create. After all as you continue to expose your palette you will be able to create your absolute unique botanical blend preference. Ultimately doing it in this manner allows for the fact that you are able to identify, in simple way, the flavors you prefer. Because Ketelkraal uses the same methodology when developing our own baselines and creating multi-flavor botanical kits at our plant.

TIP: IN BRIEF LESS IS MORE. START WITH A CAUTIOUS HAND. OBVIOUSLY IT IS EASIER TO ADD A LITTLE EXTRA THAN TO TRASH AN ENTIRE INFUSION DUE TO AN OVER EAGER HAND.

TIP: IN THE LONG RUN HERE ARE OTHER ITEMS TO HAVE HANDY
