The best gin cocktails for every taste

Harahorn Gin 0.5L 46% Newcomer from Norway Again and again you have to realize that small, artisanal businesses become something really big and that it's not just the big market leaders that get all the attention. This is also the case with this new release from the small Norwegian Det Norske Brenneri. A harmonious gin from Scandinavia that is very special just because of its origin, as the Nordic countries are not exactly known for juniper schnapps. The Harahorn Gin comes from a distillery called Puntervold/Agder Brenneri that was founded in 2005 and renamed Det Norske Brenneri in 2011. After the first single malt whiskey was created in 2012, the handcrafted Harahorn Gin followed in autumn 2015. As co-founder Odd Johan Nelvik says, it took them a year to find the perfect combination of juniper and blueberry. This harmony is what makes this gin such a distinctively Nordic gin. In addition to juniper and blueberries, lemon and orange peel, nectarine and rhubarb are also used. The use of rhubarb also has a long history: The distillery is located in Grimstad on the southeast coast of Norway. Rhubarb wine used to be made there. The producers thought it would be great to somehow hold on to this tradition, so they added rhubarb. The herbs and berries used in the gin all come from the Norwegian wilderness. The harsh climatic conditions give them a taste that is only found in a few places in the world. The distillery also works with botanist Rolv Hjelmstad from Urtekilden in Oppdal. When producing Harahorn Gin, only small batches of around 300 L are produced per distillation process in order to maintain absolute control over the excellent quality of this gin. The taste The main aromas are clearly evident on the nose: juniper and citrus. On the palate, Harahorn Gin is also characterized by fresh nuances of creeping juniper, fruit and spices. Light notes of blueberries can be tasted, which makes everything a little fresher and sweeter. A very refreshing, long-lasting finish!

Nolet's Dry Gin Silver 0.7L 47.6% The history of Nolet's Dry Gin Silver The history of the Nolet family, which produces Nolet's Dry Gin Silver, goes back to 1691. That was when the Nolet distillery was founded, making it the oldest distillery in the Netherlands. For a long time, Genever, the national spirit of the Nollanders, was produced. Business was always good, but Genever consumption has fallen drastically in recent decades. The reason is that consumers are dying out, as young people prefer to enjoy spirits that reflect a certain lifestyle. The company is now in its tenth generation and managing director Carolus HJ Nolet had to rethink things. He then introduced Ketel 1 Vodka, which is now one of the best known vodkas on the market. After the great success of the vodka, the owners wanted to return to the company's roots and recently brought Nolet's Dry Gin Silver onto the market, which has its origins in classic genever. The production of Nolet's Dry Gin Silver Nolet's Dry Gin Silver is a London-style gin that is distilled in pot stills. This makes Nolet's Dry Gin Silver unique in the Netherlands. The botanicals used to make Nolet's Dry Gin Silver are also extremely untypical for a gin. In addition to the classic flavors such as juniper, licorice and citrus fruits, Turkish rose petals, white peach and raspberries are also used. With this new type of aroma, Nolet's Dry Gin Silver is clearly aimed at a new generation of drinkers who are looking for new tastes in classic spirits. The taste of Nolet's Dry Gin Silver The atypical botanicals naturally give Nolet's Dry Gin Silver a very special taste. On the nose, Nolet's Dry Gin Silver has a very floral smell and you can clearly detect fruity notes of raspberries and peaches. On the palate, Nolet's Dry Gin Silver initially seems quite strong due to its 47.6% vol., but then becomes very smooth and shows the aromas already known from the bouquet. The aftertaste is gentle and slightly sweet. Due to its overall lighter character, Nolet's Dry Gin Silver is ideal for classics such as the Martini Dry Cocktail. Its great fruit aromas come into their own particularly well in a Gin & Tonic! Anyone looking for a new kind of gin should definitely try Nolet's Dry Gin Silver!

Jensens Old Tom Gin 0.7L 43% Inspiration from Japan - recipe from 1840 Christian Jensen, the mastermind behind Jensen Gin, first encountered the almost extinct species Old Tom Gin in Japan and was all the more surprised that this forerunner of the successful dry gin with its own character had not been produced in the traditional gin country of England for years and, after returning to the UK, immediately contacted a local distiller to revive it. The rebirth of Old Tom Gin After intensive research to find the spices in question, Jensens Dry Gin was created first - which, incidentally, makes an excellent gin & tonic. Jensen's Old Tom Gin, on the other hand, took a little longer and is based on a recipe from 1840 and is produced without the often communicated obligatory dose of sugar in Old Tom Gins. Bottled in a very simple-looking frosted white glass bottle, the label on the square shape is also puristic and expressive without any decorations. The taste of Jensen's Old Tom Gin Jensen's Old Tom starts off a little rough on the palate and is best enjoyed in a mixed drink and is less intended to be enjoyed neat. The rich abundance of the botanicals used creates a convincing aromatic, almost earthy aftertaste with a strong dash of juniper berries. The floral note that is usually noticeable in Old Tom Gins is almost completely absent from Jensen's Old Tom. This gin is very special and will probably polarize when used in classic gin cocktails such as Gin & Tonic or Martini Cocktail, which otherwise call for dry gin. In aromatic drinks, however, in combination with sweet vermouth or similar, Jensen's Old Tom will convince across the board.

Smirnoff Vodka Red Label 1.0L 37.5% The history of Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is now the best-selling vodka in the world. Last year alone, over 26 million 9-liter crates of Smirnoff Vodka were sold. However, the Smirnoff Vodka brand has come a long way and was at one point on the verge of closure. We would like to tell you briefly how Smirnoff Vodka Red Label nevertheless managed to become the most popular vodka ever. The history of Smirnoff Vodka begins in 1818 when Ivan Smirnov registered the company "IA Smirnov & Family" in Moscow. Smirnov began producing vodka in a dilapidated building that had recently been destroyed in the war against Napoleon. Under his great-nephew Pyotr Arsenevich, a passionate distiller, the distillery finally experienced a decisive upturn. Pyotr Arsenevich completely rebuilt the distillery and finally presented the completely revamped Smirnov Vodka at a trade fair in Nizhny Novgorod in 1886, where he advertised his trade fair stand with a live bear. This bear also fascinated the then Tsar Alexander III, who then tried the Smirnov Vodka and started talking to Pyotr Arsenevich. A little later he appointed Smirnov as the exclusive supplier to the Tsar's court. The noble courts in Sweden and Spain followed and the Smirnovs became one of the most successful and richest entrepreneurs in Russia. However, all the effort and success was in vain, as in 1917, during the October Revolution, all private companies were expropriated (many Smirnov family members later died completely penniless). Only Vladimir Smirnov managed to build another small distillery near Paris. In Paris, he finally sold the secret recipe for Smirnov Vodka and the production license for the USA to his former grain merchant Rudolph Kunett. Kunett tried to establish Smirnov Vodka in the USA as Smirnoff Vodka, but was not very successful. A few years later, Kunett sold Smirnoff Vodka for $14,000 to wine and spirits merchant John G. Martin. Martin also had little success with Smirnoff Vodka in the first few years, but in the 1950s, together with his friend Jack Martin, he invented the "Moscow Mule" cocktail, which became a best-seller. This meant that Smirnoff Vodka finally achieved the breakthrough it had hoped for in the USA and a sales boom began which has continued to this day. The production of Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is a vodka based on the American model. This means that it is produced to be as tasteless and odorless as possible. This is achieved with Smirnoff Vodka Red Label through triple distillation, whereby the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label is distilled to over 90% vol. Any unwanted flavors are then removed from the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label through multiple, state-of-the-art filtration processes and it is diluted with spring water to 37.5% vol. diluted. The taste of the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label Writing about the taste of an American vodka, such as the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label, is always a somewhat tedious topic. The representatives of this vodka category simply taste too neutral. The Smirnoff Vodka Red Label has all the characteristics of purity, mildness and lightness. Furthermore, the overall very mild and light Smirnoff Vodka Red Label shows a slight residual sweetness in the aftertaste. Its neutrality makes the Smirnoff Vodka Red Label the ideal vodka for high-quality cocktails and spirits!
