The Birth of Two Unique Gins: A Journey of Lime and Chilli

Our first creation, the Chilli and Lime Gin, was designed to put the heat of chilli at the forefront. By infusing the gin with chilli and releasing capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide), the active component in chilli peppers, we achieved a bold and intense flavour that leaves a delightful burning sensation on the palate. This drink is perfect for those who love a bit of spice and are looking for a gin that stands out from the crowd. Capsaicin, beyond its ability to add heat, has fascinating properties that we were eager to incorporate into our gin. It is known for its medicinal uses, particularly in pain relief. Capsaicin activates different taste buds, which can make the drink more enjoyable by providing a multidimensional taste experience. This unique characteristic not only adds to the drink’s appeal but also makes it a conversation starter at any gathering.
