Winestillery Copper Strength

Winestillery Copper Strength is a London DryLondon DryA style, not a place of origin: every flavour comes from distilling natural botanicals. After distillation only water and a trace of sugar may be added, with no flavouring or colouring.GlossarySee London Dry gins bottled directly at 70% ABV, without the dilutionDilutionThe water added by melting ice. In the right amount it opens the aromas and softens the alcohol; too much flattens the drink.Glossary normally used to bring gin to commercial strength. Produced in Gaiole in Chianti, it belongs to Sinestéthica, Winestillery's series of limited and experimental releases made in very small quantities. The name describes the liquid plainly: this is the gin at its full still strength, presented as a concentrated view of the distillation rather than as an everyday neat pour.

The producer does not publish a precise botanical list for this limited edition, so the bottle should not inherit ingredients from another Winestillery gin without evidence. Its defining facts are instead the London Dry method, the undiluted strength and the small-batchSmall batchProduction in small quantities per distillation run, often in a small still. The term has no legal definition.Glossary release. At 70%, aroma and alcohol are tightly concentrated. Careful dilution is therefore part of the tasting, not an attempt to hide the spirit.

A few drops of water allow the aromatic oils to separate and broaden, while a measured long drink gives the distillate enough space to become readable. The strength creates weight and persistence, but it also requires accuracy: a casual free-pour would overwhelm both the palate and the mixer. Copper Strength is best understood as a controlled high-proof gin for curious tasting and precise cocktail work.

The word also names the glass.Glossary filled with clear iceClear iceIce without air bubbles, made by slow, directional freezing. Denser, it melts more slowly and dilutes less.Glossary, add 12.5 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and stir gently once. Place a narrow lemon peel and three juniper berries in the glass, then repeat the peel and berries on a small dish beside it. Keep the bottle away from the table once measured and do not increase the pour casually; the 70% strength makes the smaller serving essential to the balance.
