Harahorn Gin 0,5L 46%

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!

Both`s Old Tom Gin, 0,7 L, 47%

Both`s Old Tom Gin 0.7L 47% The history of Old Tom Gin Even though it is only known to a few connoisseurs today, Old Tom Gin was once considered one of the most important spirit categories in the world. Old Tom Gin, also known as Old Tom or just Tom Gin, was particularly popular in England in the 18th and 19th centuries. Old Tom Gin is a descendant of the original genever from the Netherlands and is drier than this, but slightly sweeter than the gin known today. At that time, wooden signs in the shape of cats were attached to pubs, which would serve a gin shot to customers by inserting a penny. Since these bars were called "Old Tom" by the locals, it can be assumed that the name Old Tom Gin comes from them. The mechanism of the Old Toms worked in such a way that the penny that was thrown in rolled to the bartender inside the pub, who then poured the gin into a small tube directly into the consumer's mouth using a funnel. An ingenious but also dangerous business idea, as many alcoholics were able to treat themselves to their drinks in secret. Aside from this questionable pouring method, Old Tom Gin also slowly established itself in the more prestigious bars in England and was finally mentioned for the first time in a cocktail book in 1891. This was the book "The Flowing Bowl: When and What to Drink", in which Old Tom Gin was listed as an ingredient in the Tom Collins cocktail that is still popular today. Over the years, things have unfortunately gone quiet around Old Tom Gin, and it has only been experiencing a small renaissance for around ten years now, due to the increasing interest in bar culture. The production of Both's Old Tom Gin Both's Old Tom Gin is produced and bottled by "The Both Distillery" (founded in 1886) for the spirits retailer Haromex. Both's Old Tom Gin is made according to a historical recipe. The basis is high-quality juniper berries which are macerated together with other botanicals in the best neutral alcohol and then gently distilled. Both's Old Tom Gin is then carefully sweetened and bottled in elegant bottles with a strong 47% ABV. The taste of Both's Old Tom Gin Both's Old Tom Gin has a clear color and a sweet, fruity smell. The taste of Both's Old Tom Gin is smooth, sweet, fruity and convinces with a pleasant juniper note and nuances of rose petals, mint, citrus and anise. Both's Old Tom Gin is best enjoyed neat or in historical cocktails such as Tom Collins, Ramos Fizz or Martinez.

Nolets Dry Gin Silver 0,7L 47,6%

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!

Jensen's Old Tom Gin, 0,7 L, 43%

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.

Bulldog London Dry Gin, 0,7 L, 40%

Bulldog London Dry Gin is a gin with completely new, exotic notes that develop through the addition of botanicals such as lotus leaves, poppy seeds and the Chinese dragon eye fruit. The history of Bulldog London Dry Gin Even though Bulldog London Dry Gin is now an indispensable part of international bars, it was only launched on the market in 2007. The man behind Bulldog London Dry Gin is former investment banker Anshuman Vohra. He developed a great passion for gin in his youth, which his father modeled for him. Anshuman Vohra also used to travel a lot and got to know many different flavors all over the world. He liked some of these flavors so much that he really wanted to find them in Bulldog London Dry Gin. Together with his master distiller, he therefore spent a long time developing a recipe using twelve different botanicals from eight different countries. In order to express the taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin particularly well, a striking bottle was designed which, like the taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin, does not fit into the pattern of classic gins. The production of the Bulldog London Dry Gin The Bulldog London Dry Gin is made only from the highest quality ingredients. The wheat for the base alcohol is grown especially for the gin in the fertile fields of the east of England. After the wheat has been fermented, a four-stage distillation follows in traditional copper pot stills. After distillation, the botanicals that give the Bulldog London Dry Gin its special taste are added. In addition to some classics such as juniper, licorice and coriander, the recipe also includes exotic ingredients such as Turkish poppy seeds, Chinese dragon eye fruit (longan fruit) and lotus leaves. The Bulldog London Dry Gin is produced entirely in an old English factory that has been specializing in the production of high-quality gin for 150 years. The taste of the Bulldog London Dry Gin On the nose, the Bulldog London Dry Gin shows clear exotic aromas and notes of citrus fruits, juniper and fresh herbs. On the palate, the Bulldog London Dry Gin plays elegantly with the taste buds without developing too much dominance. An outstanding gin that undoubtedly contributes a lot to the new global gin revival! Recommended!

Noilly Prat French Dry Vermouth, 1,0 L, 18%

Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth 1.0L 18% The history of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth Hippocrates already added herbs to wine and created an elixir that stimulates gastric juices and aids digestion, which is known today as vermouth. Noilly Prat is the big French brand and is intensely dry. Noilly Prat was created in 1843 by Joseph Noilly and Claudius Prat on the basis of wines from the Languedoc. The history of Noilly Prat actually begins before its market launch. To be more precise, the beginnings of Noilly Prat can be found at a time when wooden sailing ships were still sailing the world's oceans and had to contend with wind and weather. At that time, the wine barrels from France were often stored on the deck of the ships and were completely at the mercy of the seasons and the weather. This special type of "storage" made the wine very dark and gave it a strong aroma. When steamships finally conquered the seas, the wines also changed and they lost their rich and characteristic taste. This was also noticed by Joseph Noilly and Claudius Prat, who then developed a storage method for Noilly Prat in which the Noilly Prat is exposed to the four seasons. The production of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth The production of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth requires attention as well as a lot of time. The base wines for Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth are made from sun-drenched grapes of the Picpoul and Clairette grape varieties from the Marseille region. The wines then mature outdoors in wooden barrels that are up to 60 years old, giving them their unmistakable aroma. The base wines for Noilly Prat are then blended and the secret spice mixture is added. Nutmeg, bitter orange, chamomile and gentian, among others, give Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth its unmistakable taste. The mixture of around 20 herbs and spices macerates for three weeks in the base wines for Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth before the spice mixture is filtered off and the wine matures for a further six weeks and is finally bottled in the distinctive Noilly Prat bottles. The taste of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth The dark golden Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth impresses on the nose with its fine and varied herbal aromas. On the palate, Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth is spicy and intense yet very mild at the same time - a balancing act that only a few products manage. Due to its unique taste, Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth can be found in restaurants all over the world as well as behind the bar. Chefs in particular consider it an indispensable ingredient in numerous fish dishes. In bars, Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth is the absolute first choice for connoisseurs in the world-famous Martini cocktail. From our own personal experience, we can therefore only warmly recommend using Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth in the kitchen and bar!

With the start of Prohibition in 1919, however, as with many other spirits companies, the fate of most bitters manufacturers was sealed. Only a few brands, such as Angostura Bitters, survived the dry period, but were never able to regain their former glory. Along with cocktail bitters, many classic cocktails were forgotten and for many decades colorful drinks with lots of cream and coconut liqueur were the most popular drinks in many bars. This was not to change until the beginning of the 21st century, when classic cocktails slowly came back into fashion. Unfortunately, the drinks could often not be recreated true to the original because a crucial ingredient was missing - the cocktail bitters. The two internationally known bartenders Stephan Berg & Alexander Hauck were also aware of this problem and founded the company "The Bitter Truth" in 2005. The aim of this small factory was to bring long-forgotten cocktail bitters back to life and thus enable bartenders and connoisseurs to mix classic cocktail bitters again. Classic bitters, liqueurs and spirits Both Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck made their own bitters by hand during their active time as bartenders in order to be able to offer their guests high-quality cocktails. In the large collection of historical cocktail books that Stephan Berg owns, the two found inspiration for recipes, which they then refined further. The first bitters they brought onto the market were a Lemon Bitters, an Orange Bitters and the famous Aromatic Bitters. Numerous other bitters followed, such as the Celery Bitters, which was voted "Spirit of the Year" by Mixology Magazine in 2008. Over the years, however, Berg and Hauck also realized that there was also a demand for old spirits and liqueurs that were difficult or no longer available in their original form. One of these liqueurs is a violet liqueur - the Violet Liqueur! The taste of the Violet Liqueur The Violet Liqueur from The Bitter Truth is made from the flowers of wild violets from the Alpine foothills. These are married with a little sugar and the finest grain brandy. Light in body, with subtle floral notes, the sugar content in The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur was deliberately reduced. This creates a very natural and fresh taste that comes across very well in cocktails such as Aviation, Blue Moon or Violet Fizz. The delicate, elegant aromas of the violets are captured in an impressive way in this Violet Liqueur. The Violet Liqueur is also a real treat neat, on ice or with sparkling wine. Recommended!

Brockman's Premium Gin 0,7 L 40%

Brockman's Premium Gin 0.7 L 40% Brockman's - An unusual gin Brockman's Gin was developed by several friends who had the shared vision of bringing a completely new gin to market. What united the small group was their passion for the diversity of gin and their expertise in various areas relating to the noble drink with juniper. While one young man in the group was well versed in the history of gin, others completed the team with knowledge of distillation and extensive sensory experience in the field of gin. Ideal basic requirements for creating an excellent product! The goal in developing Brockman's was clear from the start: It should be a gin that people enjoy drinking neat or with a little ice. What seems unspectacular at first glance was a bold idea, because when have you ever seen a guest in a bar drinking gin neat? Correct - actually never, because gin is traditionally only used as an ingredient in long drinks or cocktails. This is not the case with any of the other "big" spirits such as whisky, vodka or rum - they are all often enjoyed neat! The development of Brockman's Gin If it were easy to develop a gin that you can drink with pleasure, a similar gin would probably have come onto the market before Brockman's. That the challenge was greater than expected also became clear during the development of this special gin. Hundreds of different recipes with botanicals from all parts of the world were tried out until a recipe was finally found that satisfied all friends. The basis for this, in addition to high-quality base alcohol, is of course the botanicals. To ensure that Brockman's is clearly recognizable as a gin, classic botanicals such as juniper berries, cinnamon cassia and orange peel are also used in its production. To round off the taste profile, we also use rather unusual ingredients such as blueberries or blackberries, which give the gin a round and slightly fruity taste. We recommend - of course - enjoying Brockman's Gin neat, ideally slightly chilled or on ice. However, it also tastes very good when mixed with tonic water or ginger ale!

Monkey 47 Dry Gin, 0,5 L, 47%

Monkey 47 Dry Gin 0.5L 47% Gin from the Black Forest The history of Monkey 47 is a success story. The self-proclaimed Black Forest Dry Gin was introduced in May 2010 and quickly gained international renown. It can now be found in the best bars and restaurants in Spain and Great Britain. The history of Monkey 47 No good product without a good story. This is also the case with Monkey 47. According to legend, the British Royal Air Force soldier Montgomery "Monty" Collins ended up in the Black Forest after a stay in Berlin. As the diplomat's son Montgomery spent his childhood in India, he had a great affinity for exotic flora and fauna. This also explains why he adopted a Java monkey from the Berlin Zoo before leaving Berlin. After arriving in the Black Forest, he opened an inn there and named it "Zum wilden Affen" in reference to his adopted monkey. As a British gentleman, Montgomery naturally did not want to do without the most British of all drinks - gin - in his inn. For this reason, he developed a recipe with 47 botanicals. These herbs and spices were based on his own life story and so he combined traditional gin aromatics, such as juniper, with exotic botanicals from India and pure and original aromas from herbs native to the Black Forest. In the 1960s, all trace of Montgomery was lost and with him the recipe for the gin. It was not until the turn of the millennium that an old box with the recipe was rediscovered in the attic of the inn. Alexander Stein, the managing director of the Blackforest distillery, quickly recognised the potential of the recipe and began making initial attempts to produce the gin according to the old recipe. He finally succeeded and so the Monkey 47 Black Forest Dry Gin saw the light of day again. The taste of Monkey 47 All of the botanicals used in Monkey 47 are hand-picked and of exceptional quality. Particularly noteworthy is the use of fresh blueberries, which give the gin an incomparable aroma. After distillation, the gin matures for 100 days in ancient stoneware jugs, which allow oxygen to be exchanged with the environment through fine pores. This allows the aromas in the product to harmonise particularly well. Finally, the gin is reduced with extremely soft spring water to a drinking strength of 47% vol. This old-school gin has a wonderful bouquet of cranberries, spruce needles and cucumber and lime aromas. The aftertaste is characterized by fine floral nuances and remains in the memory for a long time. A great product!

Smirnoff Vodka Red Label 1,0L 37,5%

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!

Brief classification of gin styles

Not all gins are the same. Even small differences in sweetness, botanicals, and production methods can influence the character of the drink. The three most important styles for cocktails are dry gin, Old Tom gin, and sloe gin. By choosing the right one, you can determine whether a drink will be clear and dry, smooth and rounded, or fruity and playful.

Dry Gin

Dry Gin stands for a dry, straightforward aroma with distinct juniper and clear citrus and herbal notes. It brings structure to classic drinks while remaining precise and cool. Ideal for martinis, negronis, gimlets, gin fizzes, Tom Collins, and of course gin and tonics.

Old Tom Gin

Old Tom is milder and slightly sweet, often with gentle spice and citrus richness. The subtle residual sweetness smooths out acidity and bitterness, making drinks rounder and more accessible. Perfect for Martinez, Tom Collins, Ramos Gin Fizz, and other historic recipes that benefit from extra smoothness.

Sloe Gin

Sloe Gin is a fruity sloe liqueur based on gin with a ruby red color and notes of berries, almonds, and subtle spices. It rarely replaces classic dry gin in recipes on a one-to-one basis. Instead, it complements drinks as a fruity component in its own right. It is particularly suitable in sparkling highballs, in Sloe Gin Fizz, in fruity sour variations, and in mixtures with berries.

FAQs about gin cocktails

Which gin is best suited for cocktails?: London Dry Gin is the versatile base for most recipes. However, other types of gin also work well. Old Tom makes classic drinks rounder and smoother. Sloe Gin complements fruity long drinks and variations with berries or citrus.
What is the difference between a Gin Fizz and a Tom Collins?: Both use gin, lemon, and sugar. The Gin Fizz is short and gets only a little soda. The Tom Collins is built in a highball over ice, served taller, and topped with more soda.
What else can you mix gin with?: Popular partners are tonic water, ginger beer for a Munich Mule, soda with citrus, bitter lemon, as well as grapefruit or apple juice. Bitters and fresh herbs add small accents without disturbing the balance.
Which glasses are needed for gin cocktails?: For highballs like Gin Tonic and Munich Mule, use a tall highball glass, or alternatively a mule cup. Short drinks such as Martini, Gimlet, Aviation, and Martinez are served in a pre-chilled coupe or martini glass. For Negroni and Gin Basil Smash, a tumbler works well as it accommodates large ice cubes.
What are the most popular gin cocktails?: The most frequently ordered classics include Gin Tonic, Negroni, Martini, Tom Collins, Gin Fizz, and Gimlet. Modern favorites like the Munich Mule are also very popular. For fruity accents, people often choose Singapore Sling, Paradise, or a Wild Berry Highball with gin.
Which mixers go well with gin?: Tonic water is the classic. Ginger beer for Munich Mule, soda with fresh lemon, bitter lemon, and grapefruit juice also work well. For subtle nuances, one or two dashes of bitters like orange or grapefruit can be added without overpowering the drink.
What snacks go well with gin cocktails?: Salty nuts, almonds, and olives pair well with the juniper spice. Citrusy and herbal notes go well with light snacks such as crostini with cream cheese and herbs, salmon bites, or antipasti. Fruity gin cocktails also go well with mild cheeses and small fruit skewers with berries or citrus segments.
Which garnishes suit gin cocktails?: Lemon or grapefruit zest emphasizes freshness, cucumber and dill bring a cool green note, rosemary or thyme add spice. Cherry works for Aviation and Martinez, orange for the Negroni family. Garnishes should complement the profile, not dominate it.
What ice is best for gin drinks?: Large, clear ice cubes melt more slowly and dilute the drink less. For Martinis and Gimlets, stirring over plenty of ice in a mixing glass is crucial, and the drink is served without ice. Crushed ice is rarely needed, as it dilutes faster.
Shake or stir gin cocktails?: Drinks made only with spirits, like Martini or Negroni, are stirred to preserve clarity and texture. Drinks containing juice, syrup, egg white, or liqueur are usually shaken vigorously, such as Gin Fizz, Aviation, or Gin Basil Smash. The goal is always a well-balanced, ice-cold mixture.
