Doppelgänger Aperitivo

Doppelgänger Aperitivo

A distinctly London take on the Italian aperitivo, made at Doghouse Distillery in Battersea from English wheat spirit and 19 hand-selected botanicals. Sweet and bitter orange, grapefruit, rosella and gentian give it a bright, bittersweet character made for spritzes, Negronis and long summer afternoons.

Product Details

Bright citrus and aromatic roots lead the nose, followed by bittersweet orange, ruby grapefruit and rosella. Gentian and other herbs bring an earthy bitterness beneath the fruit, giving it enough bite for a Negroni while remaining wonderfully refreshing in a spritz.

How It's Made

Doppelgänger starts with a base of English wheat spirit and 19 hand-selected botanicals. Doghouse combines distillation, maceration and tincture-making to build layers of citrus, fruit, roots and herbs. The process takes around three weeks before the finished aperitivo is diluted and bottled at 20% ABV in Battersea.

About Doghouse Distillery

Battersea, London England Founded 2016

Doghouse Distillery is an independent grain-to-bottle distillery established in Battersea, London, in 2016. Unlike many small spirits producers, Doghouse makes its base spirit from scratch, mashing, fermenting and distilling the grain itself rather than buying in neutral spirit.

Working across several categories, the distillery produces vodka, gin, aperitivo and its American-inspired Debt Collector range. Its approach combines traditional production with a deliberately unconventional streak, making characterful spirits entirely at its Battersea distillery.
