Crafted at Altitude. Defined by Clarity.
Altitude Gin is distilled in the heart of Chamonix, where the mountains shape
not only our inspiration, but the way we create our spirit.
The key difference is altitude itself. Because we distill high in the Alps, the lower atmospheric pressure means alcohol boils at a lower temperature than it would at sea level. This gentler distillation helps preserve the freshness, purity and delicate aromas of our botanicals, creating a gin with
exceptional clarity and precision.
This is what makes Altitude Gin unique: we do not simply take inspiration from the mountains, we distill in them.
A Philosophy of Simplicity
While many gins rely on dozens of botanicals, we take a different approach.
We believe in simplicity with clarity.
Each of our gins begins with eight carefully selected botanicals: juniper, pine needles, wild blueberries, elderflower, coriander, cardamom, angelica root and orange peel. Together, they create balance, structure, and a true expression of the alpine landscape.
By keeping our botanical base focused and precise, each ingredient remains
identifiable, resulting in a cleaner, more refined spirit.
Our Distilling Process
We craft our gin using a hybrid still, combining pot and column distillation for maximum purity and control.
The process begins by placing the botanicals into large infusion bags inside the still. As the alcohol is heated, vapour rises and gently extracts the essential oils and aromas from each botanical. The vapour is then cooled and condensed back into liquid.
The first part of the distillation, known as the heads, is discarded. Only the heart, the purest and most balanced part of the run is collected. It is then blended with purified fresh mountain water to reach its final strength.
Rooted in the Alps
Our mountain botanicals give Altitude Gin its distinctive alpine identity. Juniper, pine needles, wild blueberries, angelic root and elderflower bring freshness, florality and a sense of place, while classic gin botanicals such as orange peel, coriander and cardamon provide depth and structure.
We use organic French wheat alcohol as our base and combine it with fresh surrounding Chamonix.
Everything we do is guided by place, from the botanicals we select to the way we distill.
A True Craft Spirit
Altitude Gin is made in small batches, with genuine craft production at its core. Every bottle reflects the same philosophy:
Clarity over complexity. Precision over excess.
And a deep connection to the mountains we call home.
By keeping our botanical base focused and precise, each ingredient remains identifiable, resulting in a cleaner, more refined spirit.
