Distilling fresh fruits

[Tamgin]

Hi Folks, 

 

First time on here and need a bit of advice if possible?

I am distilling an old tom gin with fresh fruit of raspberries, blackcurrants, pear with juniper, little coriander and some elderflower. It comes through not too bad but there's a sharpness after cutting back and the sweetness disappears very quickly. Would love some advice if anyine has any? Happy to post the recipe if that helps?

 

Thanks 

Ally

I've found that when distilling fresh raspberries, the flavour does not come through.

You need to add the fresh fruit post distillation.

Certainly raspberries and blackcurrants.

Thanks! 
We are adding raspberries after distillation, after it’s cut, 25grams per litre
