Gustav Dill Vodka, 0,7L 40%
Gustav Dill Vodka, 0.7L 40% The beginnings of the distillery Lignell & Piispanen has been on the Finnish market since 1852 and has once again shown the value of experience with its “Gustav Dill Vodka”. The takeover of the “Crown Distillery” in 1859 at the instigation of entrepreneur Gustav Ranin laid the foundation for the distillery’s products today. The distillery, which had already been in operation for 76 years, had already made progress before the time of Lignell & Piispanen under King Gustav III of Sweden set standards for the entire art of distilling in the country from the city of Kuopio. Today, the “Crown Distillery” has been family-owned for seven generations, which is partly why the Arctic wilderness flows into the taste of the distillates and shapes the country. So it is not surprising that the taste of “Gustav Tilli Dill Vodka” by Lignell & Piispanen always reminds one of more northern regions. The production and craftsmanship behind Gustav Dill Vodka The basis for this flavoured vodka is the fine Gustav Vodka, which is still distilled according to the original “Chase Islay Whisky Cask Aged Vodka” recipe. The care with which the distillation is carried out is quite remarkable and, compared to other mass production of vodka, an extraordinary special feature. It gives the product an incomparable purity and softness. The traditional art is still the central focus of production to this day and at the same time promotes the impressive quality. The dill vodka is produced through a complex maceration process and thus takes on the fine taste of the plant, but is not completely suppressed by it. The natural, excellent aromas blend in with the distillate's own taste in a present but not overpowering way. This well-balanced flavoured vodka is known by its name throughout Finland and is a perfect accompaniment to regional fish and seafood, but also combined with basil it makes a delicious gin and tonic.

Gustav Blueberry Vodka, 0,7 L, 40%
Gustav Blueberry Vodka About Gustav Vodka and Lignell & Piispanen Gustav Blueberry Vodka is produced by the Finnish company Lignell & Piispanen. Lignell & Piispanen is a well-known name in the Finnish spirits industry, which is no surprise, as the company has been present on the market there since 1852. It was founded in that same year by the entrepreneur Gustav Ranin, who in 1859 acquired the "Crown Distillery", which was founded in 1783 by King Gustav III of Sweden in the city of Kuopio. Gustav Ranin set the standards back then that the family business, now run by the seventh generation, still works by today. It was important to him to respect the Arctic wilderness and to make the best products from the products it provides. The taste of Lignell & Piispanen should therefore always remind you of the taste of the northern hemisphere. The Gustav Blueberry Vodka The Gustav Blueberry Vodka is based on the high-quality Gustav Vodka, which is basically still produced today according to Gustav Ranin's original vodka recipe. With Gustav Blueberry Vodka, however, the pure taste of the vodka is also accompanied by a strong blueberry aroma. Lignell & Piispanen gets this from wild blueberries. These are pickled in a complex maceration process and ultimately give the Gustav Blueberry Vodka its distinctive and clearly Nordic taste. The taste of the Gustav Blueberry Vodka In contrast to many other flavored vodkas, the Gustav Blueberry Vodka makes no secret of the fact that it tastes like a vodka. This means that the blueberry aromas are clearly present, but do not completely overpower the vodka's own taste. The aromatic, sweet notes of the blueberry are particularly evident in the aftertaste, where they caress the palate for several minutes. Gustav Blueberry Vodka is a really serious product that can be used both neat and in cocktails.

The Nordic regions with their fascinating botanicals are always an inspiration for the company. With a company history spanning more than 165 years, we can proudly say that this has always been successful. To this day, it is the third oldest company still in operation in Finland! When Gustav Ranin founded the company in 1852, he imported and sold high-quality whiskeys and cognacs. The oldest products still owned by the family and still available are the Savon Wiina from 1869, the Great Cognac from 1872 and the Honeycomb from 1882. Today the company is focused in a different direction and is responsible for producing the finest spirits itself. With its products, the distillery wants to bring a small piece of Finland to the world. Great importance is attached to transparency and sustainable development. Over the years the company has learned to concentrate on the essentials, on special aromas in which the origin can be recognized. Metsä Gin The name comes from the Finnish word 'Metsä', which means 'forest' in English. The Finnish Gustav Metsä Gin is a real 'forest gin'. Only herbs, berries and spices from the Nordic forests are used in its production. Spruce shoots, rowan berries and birch leaves, to name just a few of the botanicals, are the main ingredients in this Nordic gin, along with pronounced juniper aromas. The floral and spicy notes first appear on the nose. Its full complexity then becomes apparent on the palate. The aromas already identified are joined by other herbs, cardamom and a refreshing note of citrus fruits.

Loimu Glögi 2024 0,75L 15%
Loimu 2024 Glögi 0,75L 15% Mulled wine on cold winter evenings, whether at home or at the Christmas market, is a treat, but the variations often taste quite similar and there is a lack of variety. Yet there are so many ways to spice up the pre-Christmas hot drink with new flavors. The Finnish distillery Lignell & Piispanen took precisely this idea and developed a versatile basic glögg recipe based on a high-quality wine, which is refined with different ingredients every year. By varying mainly Finnish forest fruits and fine spices, the distillery creates a new, exciting glögg edition every year - boredom is out of the question. In this way, the traditional winter drink is cleverly steered into new, interesting flavors. Lignell & Piispanen, founded in 1852 by the great-great-great-grandfather of the current managing director, was established when he acquired a distillery from the Swedish king. Still in family hands today, the distillery specializes in distilling high-quality liqueurs from the treasures of the Finnish forests. This tradition continues in the annual Loimu Glögg 2024 editions, which are refined with Arctic berries such as raspberries and aronia berries. The fruit comes from the surrounding forests and is carefully picked by hand to ensure that only the ripest berries are used. For the Loimu Glögi 2024 0.75L 15%, an extract of Arctic raspberry and aronia berry is made and combined with South African Cabernet Sauvignon instead of a traditional red wine. Warmed to a pleasant 60 °C, the glögg develops a fresh sweetness of raspberry and blackcurrant, while cinnamon and cloves in combination with the strong Cabernet create a solid, varied base. This successful composition makes Loimu Glögi 2024 a high-quality and special alternative to classic mulled wine.
