Rutte Distillery

When they visit Rutte, visitors expect enormous stills, but they are, in fact, a lot smaller. The distillate that flows from the still is not the end product. The natural herb or fruit flavour is extremely concentrated which is why a distillate is a semi-finished product. Malt wine, grain alcohol, water and other distillates and tinctures are added to turn it into gin.

Apart from the distiller’s craftsmanship, the quality of the pot still is of vital importance in order to achieve the right result.
