Saffron Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

NOCO Distillery's in-house experts strive for perfection, for they must produce only craft spirits that deserve their name. And we are glad to say that all our whiskeys, gins, rums, vodka, and Brandy (Eau-de-Vie) are deserving of such honor. The Saffron Gin & Tonic works best for me with a slice of orange in preference to lime or lemon. Also very good in a Negroni with an orange twist again. Cinnamon, Coriander, Elderberry, Ginger, Grains of Paradise, Lemon, Lemongrass, Mango, Orange, Pineapple, Star of Anise, Rose, Rose Hip, and Vanilla. Valuable for our ancestors as an antibacterial (and its healing functions are still very relevant), today it has also known a glam turn thanks to gourmet cooking and mixing to create spectacular color games."

Fort Collins is perhaps best known for being the "Craft Beer Capital of Colorado." Twenty plus breweries call it home. Additionally, approximately 70% of all beers produced in Colorado come from Fort Collins. Fresh and tingly. Crafted with a rice spirit base, yellow yuzu, red shiso leaf and hinoki wood chips We will be producing once a year a "Bleue," the original style absinthe from a 4th generation family recipe. As much as possible, we source raw materials from local producers. Much of the botanicals and fruits we use in our craft spirits are produced right here in Colorado. By doing so, we reduce our operation’s carbon footprint; locally sourcing raw materials means a shorter distance to travel and thus lesser fuel consumption. It also maximizes our positive impact on the local economy. By purchasing from local businesses, we increase the income of local producers. This, in turn, provides locals with more work opportunities, directly or indirectly increases' locals' spending power (which boosts the local economy even more), and increases the government's tax earnings — the Colorado proud way.

One way to fully enjoy Saffron Gin?s incredible taste is in a ?Raspberry Thyme Smash?. Dig out your shaker and throw in a handful of raspberries and a sprig of thyme. Muddle them together and pour in 60ml Saffron, 30ml lime juice, and 20-30ml sugar syrup, depending on your sweet tooth. Shake well and strain into an old-fashioned glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a small sprig of thyme and 1 or 2 raspberries and enjoy. The raspberries create a brilliant contrast to the saffron, while the thyme and fennel complement each other well and strengthen the spirit?s herbal taste slightly. We offer apple, grape eau-de-vie as well as barrel-aged brandies. Thanks to our smaller stills we can easily produce micro-batches.

Our Speakeasy & tasting room has a unique vibe and is located in the industrial area of Fort Collins off of S. Link Lane. We are normally open Wed from 5pm to 8pm and Fri-Sat from 4pm to 8pm. I really, really like the Old Raj 55% for a sipping gin. In my opinion, it loses too much when chilled. I sip it in a snifter with a little water, more or less depending on how I feel. This is a gin that invites contemplation and relaxation. I have Old Raj 55% in a decanter on my bar. The simple perfect serve is over ice with tonic and a slice of orange which, as well as complementing the colour, provides a touch of sweetness to balance the spice.
