About VOLUME 7 GIN

 

You may have noticed we allow a little fun(k) in our brand. Yet as far as the gin itself is concerned, there is no monkeying around whatsoever.

 

VOLUME 7 GIN is all about old-school craftsmanship.

Master distiller Patrick Van Schandevijl is our main man at De Moor Distillery in Aalst, Belgium. In this family-run distillery that has been producing the finest spirits since 1910, everything is made in-house and in small batches.

The 7 primary botanicals in VOL.7:

​How VOLUME 7 is made

​

Some gin producers buy ethylalcohol to start with, made from 'agricultural products' of any kind. At De Moor Distillery, even the basic alcohol is distilled in-house using only barley grain. This already results in a richer and more delicate taste to build the gin upon.

This basic alcohol is then redistilled, adding a range of the finest botanicals, of which 7 are prominent in VOL.7: juniper berries, angelica root, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, Jamaica pepper and coriander seed. So no hocus-pocus with the weirdest ingredients. Just good old all time classics.

Try the Baracus. We love it when a drink comes together...

All of this is done in traditional Holstein copper stills, with loads of TLC and decades of experience. 

​

After this second distillation the gin is finetuned by adding in-house produced natural distillates, resulting in the well-balanced, slightly spicy yet smooth taste of our gin.

​

Bottling, labelling and sealing is done by hand and to wrap it up, the embossed logo is added to the label in our own workshop.

Et voilà : our craft gin is ready to be shipped to all you nostalgic sippers out there.

Our story​

​

The founder and Chief Nostalgic Officer of VOL.7, Kristof Malfait, launched his first gin in 2018: SOLD Gin, which is targeted at the real estate business gift market. The gin-itis kept itching and stumbling upon a box of old music cassettes in the attic, the seed was planted for a new project...

Kristof grew up in the 80s, the era now iconically symbolized by the audio cassette.

So what if we could make a top notch gin reflecting the spirit of that decade? When less choices had to be made and people still practiced the lost art of not over-complicating things...

And what if we could mix a considerable dash of nostalgia and maybe even some retro superpowers into it?

 

VOLUME 7 GIN is the result of that journey.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Tasting notes

​

The barley base is noticeably present in the nose and well-balanced by the juniper tone. The primary botanicals result in a clean classic, delicately spicy note on the palate. In the preferred G&T serve, the orange zest adds a touch of freshness that brings it all together.
We beamed up a bottle to the U.S.S. Enterprise and got this message back from Mr Spock: "Well, it's gin, Jim, and exactly as we know it".

We take that as a compliment!
