LOW GAP WHISKEY
Distilled by hand on a small antique 16HL cognac still at the Germain-Robin distillery. This still is unequalled in yielding
subtle complex and flavorful distillates with superb length. Traditional craft methods. Talented & experienced distillers
Beautiful ingredients / Patient & exacting cellar work On-site fermentation of distilling beer. Double distillation on an
antique 16HL cognac still. Descent to proof with filtered rainwater.
“This sort of production is unusual for Whiskey. Even among the so-called ‘Micro-Distillers’, very few are fermenting
their own wash, and almost no one is distilling literal “small batch” whiskey in a true Cognac- Style still. I mean, it is a 16
hectolitre still: if that isn’t “small batch”, nothing is. What you get is something amazingly aromatic, yet at the same time
incredibly clean. There are great aromas”. – Smoke Savoy

RANSOM
Ransom distills their spirits in a hand-hammered, direct-fired French alembic pot still, making all of the selective cuts by
taste and smell, without the use of computers or robots. This labor intensive, traditional method of distillation retains
greater aromatic intensity and body from the raw materials they select with such great care. They mash and ferment their
base wort on site weekly in small batches, sourcing local and organic grains where possible and incorporating barley
grown on their own farm.
