What are Botanicals? | Soli Gin, Cyprus

Handcrafted

Small Batch Distilled Gin

Produced using purified neutral alcohol of roughly 96% Gin can be formulated from grain or a by-product of grapes or molasses. Botanicals are wrapped in muslin or similar material, using time-honoured techniques. It is then steeped in the base alcohol inside a traditional copper still, for up to 48 hours before the distillation process commences.

Once distilled Soli Gin is cut with locally sourced natural spring water from the Paphos region to attain the legal alcohol percentage for bottling.  The real Gin heroes are, of course, the botanicals. […read more]

Our Passion

Our way of life and our love of our land and sea

The alchemy began on a Saturday morning in a kitchen in Neo Chorio!

Ongoing tasting at each stage in what was a surprisingly short period had produced a small batch of gin with which we were happy. It had some distinct botanical and citrus notes that soaked well with tonic. Excited and enthusiastic by this little success, the next question was how and if the gin could be produced on a commercial scale.

Whilst walking two typically mad and energetic Cyprus hounds through the Akamas, on a slightly damp autumn afternoon, metaphorical lightning stuck the intrepid dog walkers. In front of them, they found they were surrounded by trees redolent with Juniper berries. The essential botanical that gives all gin its distinctive flavour and aroma. And, the seed of an idea was planted.
