Imagination Damson Plum & Blackberry Gin Liqueur

Imagination Distilling - Reikorangi Valley, New Zealand

Style - Gin Liqueur
700ml | 32% ABV

Description
Damson Plums from kiwi backyards are macerated for two months in a dry gin styled specifically for this liqueur, developing sour cherry like tones. The addition of blackberries and of course the citrus and spices, fill the background creating a truly characterful liqueur.

Sour cherry notes on the front palate with sweet/spice/citrus in the background. Drink chilled, straight as a dessert liqueur, over ice with your favourite mixer or try it in a cocktail!

Distilling
Imagination distill in an 8 plate fractionating column still using pure rainwater captured on their property. The secret to their flavour profile comes from the distinctive yeast they use in fermentation, charcoal filtered rainwater, the delicate balance of botanicals in distillation and of course, very active imaginations! They source many of their ingredients locally from family owned and operated farms and orchards and from backyard home gardeners.

About
Imagination is the passionate adventure of good mates Simon Wilson and Chris Charteris. After 2 years of scheming and experimenting (and a bit of drinking), in 2018 they established our distillery on the site of the original Tuatara Brewery in the lush Reikorangi Valley on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand. Being in the shadow of New Zealand’s pioneering craft beer makers is a constant inspiration to them to be the very best they can. The name imagination represents the ingenuity and anything-is-possible attitude that epitomises the New Zealand spirit that binds us together as one people.
