Saffron seems to have originated in western Asia travelling from there to India. By the tenth century it was being grown by the Arabs in Spain. The Moors are said to have brought it to Italy, France and Germany by the thirteenth century.The heady bergamot orange is a fragrant citrus that grows in France and Italy. It looks like a squat green lemon. Its juice is more acidic than lemon but its peel is uplifting – it has a deeper, almost woody citrus scent. I adore it. You can also buy bergamot lemons which look like a traditional lemon but taste sweeter, with a more orange skin; I like to use the greener bergamot oranges as they have more of the floral lemony notes I love, but both work. I have made a pretty pink-tinged blood orange version too.

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." Saffron This review is for the 55% ABV version of Old Raj Dry Gin. It begins with a classic set of botanicals among which are juniper, citrus, coriander, cassia, and other classics. But what really sets it apart is is slight golden tint, which is a result of the post-distillation addition of saffron.Strain the gin into a jug, then add about the same volume of sugar syrup and taste it, adding a little more to taste – the more sugar the smoother the flavour. Colorado Springs - Denver - Fort Collins - Greeley - Las Vegas - Loveland - Sheridan - Thornton - Wellington - Wheat Ridge - Windsor I make this in a similar way to limoncello, with some added sugar, so it’s sweeter than regular gin, meaning you can drink it straight over ice or in a gin and tonic.

The company behind Gabriel Boudier Saffron Gin has been connected with distillation since the 1870’s. Founded as the House of Fontbonne, they began producing liqueurs in Dijon, France.

The story of the history of saffron is interwoven with myths. Ovid wrote that Smilax changed her pursuer Crocos into a flower, leaving the red stigma as a symbol of his passion. Another myth describes Hermes, the messenger to the gods, wounding his friend Crocos by accident. Blood dripping from Crocos's head fell on the ground, where Hermes changed it into the flower. Zeus is also said to have slept on a bed of saffron. We produce an Aquavit, made from 100% Organic Wheat neutral grain spirit and aged for 5 years in small five-gal ex-bourbon barrels.We outsource what processes we can to other local companies. For instance, we contract some of our wash to local breweries and complete the fermentation in our distillery. Which is not only efficient but also produces more work for the local community.
