Production of Citron Pressé Mediterranean Lemon Infusion by Bombay Dry Gin

The foundation of this Mediterranean citrus gin is a classic dry gin. It is made from neutral grain spirit. This spirit carries the fine botanicals and brings the aromas to the fore with precision. High-quality juniper plays a central role. It lends structure, depth and the characteristic profile of gin.

Other botanicals include coriander seeds, angelica root, citrus peels and selected herbs. The citrus component dominates. Sun-ripened Mediterranean lemons with an intense aroma are used for this purpose. Both the peels and the juice play a role. The peels provide essential oils and delicate bitter notes. The juice brings juicy freshness and vibrant fruit.

Production takes place in several stages to ensure clarity and aromatic depth. First, the botanicals steep in the spirit. This process draws the essential oils and aromatic compounds from the plants. The maceration shapes the subsequent flavor base. This is followed by distillation using the traditional method. During this process, the heart of the distillate is separated from the heads and tails. The result is a pure, clear gin with a focused aromatic profile.

The Mediterranean citron infusion requires particular care. Some of the citrus components are already added during maceration. In addition, a targeted infusion is incorporated after distillation. This allows the gin to display both fresh, radiant citrus notes and deep, complex peel aromas. With an alcohol content of 37.5% by volume, the aromas come through clearly and pleasantly. The gin feels present without becoming harsh.

The final stage of production is the careful blending with high-quality water. This step shapes the final balance of aroma, flavor and texture. The clear yellow color and clean aroma reflect the emphasis on purity and style. The result is a Mediterranean citrus gin that impresses both neat and in a drink.
