The story
No official pages dedicated exclusively to a producer named solely 'Colombian' are available. The most commonly found reference online is the product 'Colombian Treasure' (Gin 70 cl, 43%) sold by several specialized shops. In many technical sheets and reviews the Treasure gin is indicated as connected to the Dictador group/brand or to Destilería Colombiana, which is known for production and ageing of spirits in Colombia; however, the denomination used in some retailers' catalogs is simply 'Colombian'.
Territory
Colombia
Production method
According to product sheets found online, Gin Colombian Treasure is produced from a alcohol base obtained from sugarcane, subjected to redistillations and flavored with local botanicals; the distillate is then matured in barrels previously used to age rum to impart softness.
Distillation
Multiple distillation of the base alcohol; some technical sheets indicate steam distillation and redistillation with botanicals.
Ageing
Aging in ex-rum oak barrels (commercial descriptions indicate an aging period of around 35 weeks).
