Ep. 10: Alex Myers of Big Gin

Single Malt Frontier

Today we speak with Alex Alejandro Myers of Big Gin. We speak about general gin production techniques, the major styles of Gin including London Dry which is made at Big Gin, Big Gin's specific blend of botanicals that make it stand out in a cocktail, crafting a "Gin Concentrate" that is consistent batch to batch, and unique barrel finished gins, as well as blending a standard Peat Barreled gin blend. Alex has also been dry for a year and does all this without consuming his own products, using a spit cup for the rare taste his job necessitates. Alex also experiments with flavored gin and other fermented and distilled products; fingers crossed for a future line of Captive Spirits products beyond Big Gin.
