Saint Alpin Liqueur

We proudly double distill our spirits, from our vibrant gins to our rich liqueurs. This deliberate two-step process, unlike single distillation or column still methods, meticulously refines the spirit. The result is a remarkably softer, mellower, and more nuanced flavor profile, allowing the intricate botanicals and thoughtful ingredients to truly shine for a smoother, deeply complex drinking experience.

The preservation and selection of specific aromas and flavors in spirits with botanicals demands more than simple extraction. We understand how distillation speed, technique, proof during maceration, and starting proof prior to distillation can encourage or discourage specific characteristics, ensuring the final distillate captures the intended essence and complexity of each botanical.

We naturally color our spirits the same way we build their flavor—through botanicals, never additives. Using techniques borrowed from historical distillers, we gently extract color from ingredients like herbs and roots, allowing the spirit to develop its hue alongside its character. This approach not only creates a more vibrant, authentic color, but also deepens the flavor and texture. It’s a method we carry across our spirits—traditional, intentional, and rooted in letting the ingredients speak for themselves.

Our slow and deliberate application of heat into the distillation system is key to preserving delicate aromas and flavors. This allows us to carefully select specific parts of the distillation to include in the “hearts” – the most desirable part of the distillate – ensuring an extremely hands-on approach to flavor selection, rather than relying solely on proofs or timing.
