Grunt work, but all the others get the praise.
A friend of mine used to make his own. Quite illegally of course. He is an engineer, so to make a still, the heater and thermometer set-up was a cinch for him. He explained it just as in the video. He started by saying "Gin is just vodka with aromatics added during the second distillation". He added "Its cheaper to make than wine", thus 80%+ of the price of a bottle of gin is taxes.

Pure alcohol is insanely cheap to make. From 8 kg of white sugar you buy from the shops, you can potentially make 4 litres of 95% spirits. This is why they tax and regulate it so much. It's so cheap.

Piger Henricus gin is named for the dark age alchemist's furnace; the term is Latin and translates as "Slow" or "Lazy Harry"... so presumably a term of endearment. The gin itself is in the traditional London dry style, suggesting a juniper-forward flavor for classic cocktails (especially the timeless Martini). The Subversive Distillers are located in Quebec, Canada founded by Pascal Gervais, Fernando Balthazar, Robert Paradis, and Stephen Roffo. The bottles retail for around $26USD, overseas in the UK, 40.

@TheVideoGuardian

Kindof a weird assumption. It's neither difficult nor particularly expensive to get spring water delivered. Some breweries literally own their own wells too, which isn't exactly spring water but it's not a public source either. The cost of spring water is nothing compared to the cost of the other ingredients and distilling doesn't remove bad flavors from bad water so it's not that outlandish to use actual spring water. Especially when you sell it for nearly $60 a bottle...

A friend of mine some years ago lost his job as an apprentice-served printer and found work at a spirits bottling place. He told me how that company made gin for a popular supermarket here in England. A chemical tanker arrived and pumped up a tank full of ethanol. A guy then tipped in a bucket of goo, like that hideous stuff they dilute to make cola. It then got mixed up and bottled. Instant gin.
