Process & Profile
Greenhook Ginsmiths Beach Plum Gin Liqueur is a labor of love and innovation. It is made by soaking whole Long Island beach plums in Greenhook's signature American Dry Gin for seven months. This extended infusion process allows the plums’ piquant and juicy flavors to blend seamlessly with the spirit's botanical notes. A touch of organic Turbinado sugar adds balance, resulting in a spirit that is beautifully aromatic and harmoniously balanced. The liqueur is bottled at 30% ABV and boasts a stunning ruby red hue. What sets Greenhook apart is their modern approach to distillation. Using a custom-designed copper alembic still under a Mercury Vacuum, the gin is distilled at dramatically lower temperatures, preserving the delicate flavors and aromas of the botanicals. This meticulous process produces a cleaner, more vibrant base spirit that underpins the Beach Plum Gin Liqueur.Tasting Notes
