The pursuit of balance
Innovation Through Intuition
John Hall mastered his craft through trial, error, and instinct. The result? A new way of making gin, one that honours tradition but dares to evolve it.
Crafted by Curiosity
Aureus Vita began with a question: what truly defines balance? From a fascination with chemistry to a self-taught journey in distilling, John Hall followed intuition and science to create a spirit that reflects nature’s harmony.
The Golden Ratio, Distilled
At the heart of Aureus Vita lies the Fibonacci-Hall Method, a revolutionary approach that applies the golden ratio (1.618) to every stage of gin production. It’s not just a technique; it’s a philosophy born out in chemistry, engineering and the geometry of nature.
Balance Is Everything
From molecular interactions to flavour profiles, balance is the foundation of Aureus Vita. It’s not about adding more, it’s about aligning every element in a precisely choreographed expression of mathematical taste perfection.
A Spirit That Tells a Story
Aureus Vita is distilled once a year, capturing the essence of each season. No blending, no shortcuts; just a pure expression of time and place. Every bottle is an expression of balance at a specific moment in nature.







John Hall never set out to reinvent gin, but to understand it deeply, scientifically and intuitively
From a young age he had a fascination not just by how things were made, but what they were made of. That curiosity led him to study chemistry, where he explored the invisible architecture of atoms and molecules that shapes our world.
