A neutral grain alcohol is distilled through a rectifying still to remove odours. This yields a very pure spirit which is 95 per cent alcohol; to this are added the ‘botanicals’: juniper, coriander seed, orange and lemon peel, angelica, orris root and cardamom. Coates’s formula lays greater emphasis on the roots (angelica and orris) than other gins, giving it a distinctive aroma. The mixture is distilled once more in a pot still, checked in a spirit safe, and bottled.
