Elg Gin No. 3. Navy Strength Miniature 0.05L 57.2%

Strengthening the aromas

Like Elg No. 2, the third gin from the Danish micro-distillery also has a historical background, but more on that later. Using the classic pot still method, master distiller Henrik Elsner produces a gin with the three botanicals juniper, coriander and carrot. To enhance the extraordinary taste of the carrot in combination with the other two typical gin ingredients, Elsner uses a higher alcohol content. This is achieved by using less water when adjusting the drinking strength, which means that the alcohol is more concentrated, the characteristic of a Navy Strength Gin.

Trial by fire

The name of the gin can be traced back to sailors in the 19th century who bought rum in the Caribbean but, due to a lack of measuring methods, were unable to determine how high the alcohol content of the distillates was. So they came up with the idea of pouring the alcohol over some gunpowder and then igniting this sample. If the rum caught fire, it was clear that it was a high-proof distillate and the rum was "100% proof", which later tests showed corresponded to 57.2% alcohol. This is why spirits with a higher alcohol content are now referred to as Navy Strength.

The big brother

If the sailors had carried out the experiment with this Elg Gin, they would have bought it too, because it has exactly 57.2% ABV. And they would certainly have liked the stronger version of the Elg No.1 too, it was not for nothing that Henrik Elsner gave his third creation this alcohol content, after all, alcohol is a flavor carrier and with a 10% increase compared to the Elg No. 1, this is clearly noticeable. When comparing the first and third gins, you will notice that it tastes even more authentic and pure. Because more alcohol also means more flavor-giving essential oils from the selected ingredients in the distillate. This makes the interplay of the three botanicals much more noticeable, the spicy sweetness of the carrot stands out in the midst of the fruity juniper and the spice of the coriander.

The gin delivered here comes in a perfect miniature format and is ideal for the first impression.

Elg Gin No.1, 0,5L 47,2%

Elg Gin No.1 A gin like Danish design The name "Elg" is Danish for "elk" and, in addition to the name of the gin, this is also the nickname of the award-winning master distiller Henrik Elsner. He distills a truly remarkable gin on Zealand, the largest of the Danish islands. It consists of just three ingredients, which seems very simple and sober, especially in today's world when there are sometimes up to 50 different botanicals in a gin. The Elg gin stands out from the crowd precisely because it is reduced to a handful of ingredients. This shows true distilling skills in a different way: balancing three strong ingredients to create a tasty whole. Exceptional ingredients As is often the case with gin, the basis here at Stone Grange is a raw spirit made from wheat. Juniper berries and coriander are also more of a norm for a gin. But with the last ingredient, Elsner takes an unusual and unusual approach: carrots. As inappropriate as that may sound at first, if you take a closer look at this vegetable and its biochemical composition, it seems all the more fitting to try it in combination with a gin. The root vegetable has a high proportion of terpenes, these highly aromatic compounds are important components of essential oils. Carrots therefore contain exactly what is essential for a tasty gin - lots of aroma. This high proportion of essential oils is even visually recognizable in the glass when drinking, because if the gin is mixed with ice cubes or a filler, the clear distillate turns milky white. This so-called opal effect occurs particularly in spirits with a particularly high concentration of essential oils. Less is more Thanks to these three ingredients, the distillery has succeeded in producing a particularly pure gin with a precise taste. All ingredients are equally important for the overall impression, nothing covers up or distorts its partners. The name fits the gin perfectly: Elks are loners in nature, just as this gin with its minimalist, unusual ingredients stands out on the market with this unique selling point.

Elg Gin No.2, 0,5L 46,3%

Elg Gin No.2 Gin not for everyone The Stone Range Distillery is already used to taking unusual paths with its first gin, Gin No. 1. With its second gin, the small Danish distillery takes a journey back in time to the 18th century and follows in the footsteps of a true explorer. Tom Chamberlain may have distilled ordinary gin in Victorian England, but in his free time he was always tinkering with new recipes in his well-equipped laboratory. Only particularly important customers of Chamberlain were allowed to taste these creations and when word got around about the existence of these special drops, everyone wanted to try “Tom Gin”. The reason the gin was so different was because of an alcoholic extract of the juniper berry. In the laboratory Based on the Elg Gin No. To create Gin No. 1, which consists of juniper, cardamom and carrots, master distiller Henrik Elsner, like Chamberlain, experimented and carried out tests which resulted in a dark, sweet and strong gin. The special thing about it is the naturally homemade juniper extract which is added to Gin No. 1 and thus enhances its sensory qualities. A wide variety of mixtures of juniper berries and alcohol strengths were tested until the final recipe was determined. The extraction process used is called maceration, in which the juniper berries are soaked in 50% alcohol for a month. During this time the alcohol takes on the aroma and color of the berries. After straining this mixture, at the end of the process there is an extract with a slightly reduced alcohol content which can then be used to refine the gin. Special then as now The extract now has a variety of aromas from the juniper plant which could not have been achieved through distillation. Used in the right proportions, this expands the aroma spectrum to include a particularly intense, fruity-sweet juniper aroma. The distillate is also no longer clear but has a violet color. The alcohol content has also shifted to around 46% vol. Gin No. 2 is therefore a pleasure to drink neat, and it is easy to understand why the gin from "Old Tom" was so well received.

Elg Gin No.4 0,5L 46,5%

Elg Gin No.4 0.5L 46.5% ELG GIN – high-quality gin from Denmark High-quality gin does not necessarily come from England. In the wake of the current gin wave, excellent distillates from Germany and Spain, among others, have been able to assert themselves in the highly competitive market. A gin from Denmark has also recently caused a stir. It is the ELG GIN, which is produced by the Stone Grange Craft Distillery in the beautiful surroundings of Lake Esrom, north of Copenhagen. The special thing about the ELG GIN recipe is that it is made with just three botanicals, which we will go into in more detail later. The individual botanicals are macerated separately in pure wheat spirit, which is then distilled separately in an advanced form of the column still process. In this way, it is possible to produce distillates of unique purity and elegance and to keep the aroma and the same intense taste constant in each batch, regardless of fluctuations in the raw botanicals which, due to nature, can never be completely avoided over the years. ELG GIN is produced in small batches of just 1,250 bottles each, with each label containing the batch and bottle number and signed by Master Distiller Henrik Elsner. The botanicals used As already mentioned, only three botanicals are used to make ELG GIN. In addition to the classic juniper, these are the also frequently used coriander AND the very atypical ingredient carrot. As far as we know, no other producer uses carrot as a botanical, although its addition provides a pleasant earthy note in the aftertaste. ELG GIN No. 4 ELG GIN No. 4 also contains an extract from black carrots as a special ingredient. This is achieved by soaking black carrots in 50% vol. pure wheat alcohol for three days. This produces an extract that not only contains the diverse aromas of the black carrot, but also the anthocyanins that occur naturally in the black carrot, which give it its intense pink-red color. If you mix ELG GIN No. 4 with tonic water or serve it as a martini cocktail, the drink will take on a pleasant pink color. A very unusual gin that will give friends and acquaintances some wow moments.

Elg No. 0 Gin miniature 0,05L 47,2%

Elg Gin No. 0 Miniature 0.05L 47.2% Stone Grange Distillery A fairly young distillery, founded in 2009 in Fredensborg on Lake Esrom, where the company's own lands extend to the lake. Over the years, the company has tried many things, producing brandy as well as aquavit and absinthe. Today, however, the focus is on the production of gin. Master distiller Henrik Elsner is responsible for production at the distillery. When the decision was made to produce gin, it was decided to make it from just three botanicals in order to gain a foothold in the broad gin market and to impress with a very special juniper brandy. The company also wanted to produce a gin in which none of the botanicals stood out so much, but rather one that was characterized by a particularly good balance. To date, there are six different gins, all based on ELG No. 0. Compound Gin ELG Gins are so-called compound gins. This means that each botanical is distilled separately before it is mixed with the base alcohol made from wheat. However, the three botanicals are also treated differently in order to obtain 100% of the best taste from each individual component. Coriander seeds, for example, contain many 'disturbing' taste components that are lost during distillation.

Elg Gin No. 4 Miniatur 0,05L 46,5%

Elg Gin No. 4 Miniature 0.05L 46.5% Like ELG No. 0 or No.1, ELG No. 4 is based on gin made from juniper berries, coriander seeds and carrots. Like the distillate used to make the base gin, which contains carrots from the Danish nursery Gärtnerei Toftelund, ELG No. 4 also contains an extract of black carrots. This is what gives it its special purple color. To make the black carrot extract, the carrots are placed in 50% alcohol immediately after delivery, which then gradually absorbs the carrots' purple pigments. As water is also extracted from the carrots during this process, the alcohol content is also reduced. After a week, the carrots are sieved and the purple extract is obtained. This now has an alcohol content of 38% and a wealth of aromas. ELG No. No. 4 is of course best enjoyed with tonic water and a little ice. A little variety can also be found by mixing No. 4 with a vermouth for a dry vermouth. If you are perhaps a little put off by this special gin and don't want to invest in a large bottle straight away, the purple ELG No. 4 Gin is available as a miniature version with a filling quantity of 0.05L, as shown here.
