TASTE

The distillation of 4478 Gin is inspired by the Alpine nature.

The primary signature botanical being the pink and juicy fruit of the Arven tree known as the ‘King of the Alps’. This iconic tree, graces the Zermatt landscape next to the Matterhorn and the glaciers.

Its pink and juicy cones are collected before they become woody. The harvest is dangerous as they mainly grow on the top crown of the tree. In the old days locals used to eat the pine nuts inside the cones as a snack. The Arven tree grows over 1300 meters altitude and live for hundreds of years.

DISTILLATION

DISTILLATION

A 21st Century method

Crafted with the Istil, a 21st Century method of distillation. This ingenious technology helps us to achieve a exquisitely smooth finish at 43% abv. 4478 Gin is also unfiltered on the theory that filtration strips away flavour.

Filtering is simply not necessary and would reduce the content of essential oils we have painstakingly distilled.

IN THE PINK

We are often asked why our batches vary in colour…
The answer is simple, it’s due to the natural ingredients. Our botanicals are 100% from nature. In particular the pink colour derived from the pinecone varies tremendously depending on the time of harvest. 
 

This year is a very pink year!

We find beauty within the variable hues of our product – knowing that they are naturally derived and contain some of the finest plant-based ingredients.
