5 Questions with Brass Lion Distillery’s Founder Jamie Koh On Making Gin In Singapore

"Called the Brass Lion Singapore Dry Gin, the New World-style gin is made by one-month-old home-grown craft distillery, Brass Lion. Made in a 4,000-square-feet industrial warehouse space in the western part of Singapore, the Singapore Dry Gin ($88) is a concoction of 22 botanicals that are found in many Asian dishes, such as rojak, double-boiled soups and curries. The floral and citrusy gin is infused with ingredients such as torch ginger flower, mandarin peel, angelica root, galangal and lemongrass. The Singapore spirit is the brainchild of Jamie Koh, who is part of the burgeoning wave of made-in-Singapore craft alcohol producers." - Kenneth Goh
