Made by Hans Reisetbauer, the renowned Austrian eaux-de-vie distiller using 27 botanicals, which alongside juniper include lemon peel, angelica root, coriander seeds, turmeric and liquorice. The blend of alcohol and botanicals are left to macerate for 2-3 days before starting the third distillation.

Blue Gin is made based on a wheat variety called ‘Mulan’ grown in upper Austria, and sometimes also on Reisetbauer’s own farm. The fermented wheat mash is distilled in a 300-litre copper pot still to produce a raw distillate at 40% alc./vol. and this is redistilled using the same still to produce a distillate at 84% alc./vol.. This partially rectified spirit is then blended with rectified neutral corn spirit at 96% alc./vol. and this spirit blend is used to charge the pot still to which are added Reisetbauer's 27 botanicals.

The spring water used to hydrate Blue Gin comes from an alpine pasture in Mühlviertel, a district in the north of the province of Upper Austria. This water is used due to its low calcium and sodium content and is gradually mixed with the gin distillate over a period of two months to arrive at Blue Gin’s bottling strength of 43% alc./vol..
