Crafting Modern Spirits with Polish Roots

At Mikrogorzelnia, we believe that the best spirits start with the land they come from. Our journey began with a simple yet ambitious mission: to create exceptional, modern gins and other craft spirits using ingredients grown and foraged in Poland. We proudly operate from our own production facility in the heart of Warsaw, where we combine traditional methods with modern precision.

Every bottle we release reflects our belief that smaller is better. Operating on a micro scale allows us to stay close to every detail, from ingredient sourcing to final bottling. More than just size, it’s a commitment to quality and care.

The Power of Small-Batch Thinking

In our world, small batch means intentional craftsmanship. Every formula is fine-tuned by hand. Every botanical is evaluated for its contribution to the whole. This level of control allows us to bring out subtle aromas, balance flavours, and stay true to our creative vision — without shortcuts or compromise.

You can taste this philosophy in our seasonal releases as well as our core spirits. like Gin z polskich botaników, a celebration of Poland’s native plants captured in a single bottle.

Precision Through Innovation: Vacuum Distillation

To unlock the most delicate and aromatic components from our botanicals, we rely on vacuum distillation, a method originally developed for use in scientific laboratories. This process allows us to extract flavour at lower temperatures, preserving fragile compounds that would otherwise be destroyed by heat.

This technique is not only more gentle, it’s also more precise. Vacuum distillation lets us work in fine-tuned temperature and pressure ranges, so that each fraction of vapour is carefully separated and captured. The result? A gin that is smooth, layered, and unmistakably refined.

A Look Inside the Process

After botanicals are macerated in alcohol, they are placed in a rotating flask with a 5-liter capacity. The flask spins constantly to keep the solution evenly distributed and prevent boiling. As evaporation begins under reduced pressure, the vapours rise into a chilled glass coil, where they condense into a pure, concentrated distillate.

This entire operation is controlled by computer, ensuring both precision and consistency, while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Equipment That Matches Our Philosophy

Vacuum distillation was first made possible in 1957 by Büchi Labortechnik in Switzerland. Today, we distill using advanced systems from Heidolph, a globally respected manufacturer of scientific and distilling equipment. Their technology allows us to achieve consistent quality while respecting the fragility of the ingredients we work with.

More Than Just Technique — A Philosophy

At Mikrogorzelnia, we don’t believe in mass production. We believe in mindful creation. Every bottle we produce tells a story, of origin, of craftsmanship, and of innovation. Whether you’re discovering our herbal-forward gins or exploring seasonal editions, you’re experiencing a spirit shaped by both science and soul.
