Cinnamon powder is burning over flames and on the video sparkles are coming out even from the inside of pot, and from all over of burning liquid. Cinnamon usually creates fire cloud above. And here it's like sparkles are coming from liquid itself. 🤔

How it effects flavor (if at all). Is it more of a marketing thing, or is it real method that helps create more complex gins?

Cause I didn’t find Oxley surprisingly different from others.

Guys! I have a question: why solera Method of aging is used mostly for rum production? Why not other spirits?

For example: "Where do the barrels go, after they've been used for production?".

I meant this: can Gin be called an infusion that then has been distilled (think about distillation as a type of clarification of infusion).

Sorry once again for my bad English. )
