A pear, a berry & two peppers.
A botanical experiment in four uncommon characters.

An unlikely introduction
A pear and two kinds of pepper are unusual companions. Add red cowberry and the encounter becomes the subject of a new experiment.
That experiment was bottled as Distill No. 5, a pear-and-berry pepper infusion created by Spirits’ Gardens.
Four uncommon characters
Four ingredients, each carrying its own character: wild pear, red cowberry, jalapeño and red chilli. Together they formed the Pear & Berry Pepper Infusion — Distill No. 5.
The label names them plainly. In this chronicle each is given a plate of its own, arranged as an illustrated field index.
On the label
The label names the release plainly: Distill No. 5, Pear & Berry Pepper Infusion.
It is bottled at forty per cent alcohol by volume, in a five-hundred-millilitre bottle.
One chapter of many
Spirits’ Gardens began in Armenia in 2018. Distill No. 5 is one chapter in its collection of releases and experiments.
Not all experiments end in a book. Some end in a bottle.
