From the spirals of flowers to the structure of great art, music and poetry, the mathematical ratio of 1:1.618 appears again and again as a symbol of harmony.
Chemist-turned-master distiller John Hall was the first to ask the question, why not apply nature's genius to gin distillation?
From his early 20s, Hall always wanted to be a distiller. He had a degree in chemistry and an obsession with flavour.
His first tour at a whisky distillery inspired him to pursue his passion. He was fascinated by how intricate processes created complexity in the final liquid.
Thus Aureus Vita was born, the name meaning 'golden way of life', a liquid over 12 years in the making and then crafted in a pioneering Fibonacci-Hall method, with Hall at the helm, the first new way of distilling in a generation.
Each moment of the process uses mathematical harmony in every step - Hall has created a spirit that delivers extraordinary balance and complexity and adheres to the rules of nature itself. So complex is the process that Aureus Vita is only distilled once a year.
Experiencing Aureus Vita is experiencing something incredibly viscous, rich, deep and layered. Rich in aroma; what stands out is the sequencing of flavour: ten distinct flavours revealed in a sequence, longer and clearer series of notes than found in traditional gins.
John Hall, Founder and Master Distiller of Aureus Vita told That's Food and Drink: “We respect tradition, but we're never constrained by it.
"There's value in 'the way it's always been done', so we take lessons from the historical masters and methods of our craft. 'What happens if you do things differently?' is our favourite question.”
This Father's Day, gift a gin as exceptional as he is. Aureus Vita blends the precision of mathematics with the artistry of flavour sequencing, unfolding in a journey that delights connoisseurs and intrigues the curious. Versatile, bold, and luxurious, it's the perfect toast to the fathers who have extraordinary taste.
