“Our gin tells the story of the Jura: its rocks, its fossils and the years it took us to find the right recipe.”
Chapter 01
The Jura, a prehistoric origin
152 million years ago, the Jura was a warm lagoon on the edge of a shallow sea. Large sauropods left footprints here that you can still see in the limestone. This is the land where we built our distillery.
The Diplodocus on our label is a nod to the sauropod tracks found in the canton. To link the gin to that era, we distil it with two plants that already existed in the Jurassic: field horsetail and ginkgo biloba.
We distil in small batches in copper stills. Every bottle is filled, sealed and numbered by hand. Between maceration and bottling, a batch takes us several weeks.
