…and what Makes a Properly Improper Gin?
Are there exact rules that have to be followed exactly? Are there predetermined measurements ordained by a higher, wiser authority? Is there a certain cosmic balance of aromatics and botanicals that transports you to just approximately heaven? And who decides what makes this or that a proper gin?
We, of Brockmans, are the standard bearers and descendants of a long line of gins that stretches back to time immemorial. And while we respect and honor the traditions that have led us to this time and place, we steadfastly refuse to be beholden to outdated notions of what is and is not a gin. When it should or should not be drunk. Or how it should be drunk. Who should or should not drink it. And where said drinking should be done.
One asks… what if the perfect gin…just happened to be the properly improper gin.

Agave Cut
This reserve batch of Vor has been oak rested in first-fill virgin white oak. This gives our gin a slightly smoky, woody character that perfectly complements the complex botanical profile.
Great when enjoyed neat; also perfect for a subtly smoky gin and tonic.

Description
A proportion of the botanical blend is macerated overnight within each batch’s base spirit. On the following day secondary distillation begins with gradual heating of the liquid within the Gin Pot Still to the required temperature.
Each batch is distilled slowly over an 8-hour period with the additional inclusion of some of the botanicals into the infusion vapour basket. The final gin is distilled to a strength of between 74 – 75% abv and finally reduced to 43% abv prior to bottling.

Vor is not your typical gin, rather it is made in the style of 19th-century Icelandic gin, triple pot distilled and using only native Icelandic ingredients available to gin makers in 19th- century Iceland. This makes Vor gin a one-of-a-kind Gin and brings distinct flavours of Icelandic
juniper, rhubarb, kelp and birch.
Vor is hand crafted in small batches of only 500 bottles, and all herbs and botanicals are local and steeped in the spirit for the 3rd distillation. Vor is all natural, with no additives or extras.
Vor has been very well received around the globe, receiving prestigious awards and reviews, including a 2014 Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, ranking Vor as one of the best gins in the world.
