From the way liquid flows out of a bottle and swirls in a glass to the lingering sensation after taking a sip, the character referred to as texture or mouthfeel is often underappreciated but vital. It is also a dimension that can be consciously shaped. Textural inspiration can be found in traditional drinks as well as modern trends.

I recently acquired a bottle of clear eau de vie distilled from gentian, which was supplied via the haphazard channel of an extended family network on my Swiss side who knew the producer. The label was handwritten and the spirit inside, while undeniably bitter, also had an enveloping earthiness evocative of rural Swiss life: farms with stills and the cool, damp smell of pasture before the sun is high.

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Eight years ago, a friend of mine who’d grown up in County Fermanagh led me to a cave behind a waterfall which housed a secret. There, my torch light illuminated an old pot still — a relic that would have once been used for the illegal distillation of the historic Irish spirit poitín. I remember thinking how difficult it must have been to heave it over the slippery rocks.

Summer’s delicate flowers have a restricted season. Capturing this ephemerality isn’t just an exercise in bottling memories of warmer days; the abundance of edible flowers can also contribute distinctive and delicious flavors for spirits. Lavender shares aromatic properties with juniper due to the terpinen-4-ol they both contain. That means they pair well to create gin that is characteristically junipery, but with a little extra depth.
