The base is distilled from organic Burgundy wheat and barley with water drawn from an underground river more than 120 meters beneath the distillery, and the gin is built from five organic botanicals chosen for their terroir: citrus from Menton on the French Riviera, including bitter orange, and plants and a flower hand-harvested in the Swiss Alps, among them verbena, thyme, orange mint and monarda, over a classic core of juniper, lemon, orange flower, angelica and coriander. Each botanical is distilled separately in small batches on modern iStill cubic stills and the distillates are blended afterward, a method the house says gives Orion its aromatic purity and freshness. Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in a 750mL midnight-blue bottle meant to evoke the night sky, stoppered with a wooden Pegasus cork. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Burgundy wheat and barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five organic botanicals, each distilled separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meursault, Burgundy, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBetween Sky and Earth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePegasus Distillerie launched in the United States in 2024 and named Emilia Clarke its global ambassador.
