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.

Hammer London Dry Gin 1,0L 40%
Hammer London Dry Gin 1.0L 40% England's tradition visits Oslo Hammer London Dry Gin, which at first glance seems almost inconspicuous, was distilled near the Norwegian capital Oslo. The mineral-rich water from the Hadeland springs was used, whose rocky landscape is, according to research, around 300 million years old. A double pot still distillation and a special filter technology are the decisive factors in bringing the delicious aromas of the botanicals used into Hammer London Dry Gin. The finest spices and herbs are selected with great care to perfect the gin. The individual ingredients for the aromas are not added afterwards, but during distillation, thus creating the unmistakable character. The recipe for London Dry Gin comes from England and can be traced back to 1776. It later made its way to the Scandinavian country via a roundabout route and has enjoyed great popularity ever since. The play of aromas The first scent is a strong hint of ripe juniper berries, the classic ingredient in gin. The combination of different ingredients, which are either dried or provide a refreshing kick, is striking. The notes of fine herbs play around the nose in a skilful manner. On the palate, a real firework of intense fruit aromas is revealed, as orange and lemon are paired together here. The fine sweetness of the juniper berries and the spiciness of the herbs create an unforgettable drinking experience. On the finish, you can feel a pleasant warmth that lasts a long time. Meanwhile, nutty and rich tones blossom and delight the connoisseur. The secret home The Hammer London Dry Gin is not a gin that you drink neat or on ice, for example. Rather, it likes to present its unique strength and special character in a freshly made cocktail or long drink. Combined with the classic tonic and vermouth, it shows its diversity and expressiveness. As an absolute classic for mixed drinks, this gin should not be missing from any well-stocked home bar.

Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin, 0,7l, 40%
Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin, 0.7l, 40% Lier - a small region in Norway located west of Oslo. Numerous rare, wild plants and flowers grow and thrive here, which is why Lier is known as the green lung between Oslo and Drammen. Due to the fertile and nutrient-rich soil, numerous farms have settled in and around Lier, growing a wide variety of agricultural products. One of these farms is the Kimerud Farm, founded in 1785, which is still family-run to this day. In 2007, the decision was finally made to build a distillery on the farm, as it was noticed that a large proportion of the raw materials needed to make spirits were grown or could easily be grown on site. This is how the idea for Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin was born, which was to be a strong, very straightforward and distinctive gin. The gin is based on potatoes and 22 different herbs, spices and fruits - the so-called botanicals. In addition to classic botanicals such as juniper, coriander, orange and lemon peel, other ingredients used include ginger, angelica root, walnut and, perhaps the most exotic ingredient, roseroot. Roseroot (Rhodiola rosea) belongs to the Crassulaceae family and has been used as an alternative medicine for centuries. The extract made from its roots is said to improve memory, ability to absorb information and concentration. Roseroot is also said to have a potency-enhancing effect. Whatever the case, the roseroot definitely gives the Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin a unique flavor. The taste of the Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin can best be described as the perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness and the taste of the botanicals used. A very straightforward gin, which has a certain power due to the alcohol strength of 40% vol. Ideal as a gin and tonic, Martini dry cocktail or neat on ice with an orange peel. Awarded several times, for example as one of the best gins at a large gin tasting by the renowned "The Belgian Gin Club"!

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. 3 Navy Strength, 0,5L 57,2%
Elg Gin No. 3 Navy Strength 0.5L 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 subtle, the spicy sweetness of the carrot stands out in the midst of the fruity juniper and the spice of the coriander.

Tenu Gin, 0,5L 47%
Tenu Gin 0.5L 47% From the Finnish wilderness “Tenu Gin”, which comes from the depths of Finland, is also known as the “spirit of the forest” because it comes from the northernmost forest area on earth. The taïga is characterized by its sparse vegetation; only conifers and berries grow there in the dense forests. Mosses and numerous types of lichen also have the prospect of thriving. The landscape is also characterized by mountain ranges and swampy areas that are simply breathtaking in winter. Temperatures can easily reach minus 40 degrees at this time of year. The term taïga is probably a loanword from Russian and means something like “impenetrable, often swampy forest”. The word can probably be traced back to the Mongolian version 'Tajga', which means "mountain forest". Blessed by the monks The gin was originally created by a small brotherhood of monks in order to be able to process the herbs collected from the Finnish forest. Even today, the "Tenu Gin" is distilled and bottled with great dedication in the Valamo Monastery Distillery by renowned master distillers with a lot of discipline and skill. Consecrated with secrets Pure spring water of the best quality, which is obtained directly on site, serves as the basis. But that is by no means all that the gin hides inside. There you will find hints of rare botanicals that can be clearly identified as wild herbs, roots, flowers, wild roses, cranberries and juniper. Arctic legonberries give the premium gin its unmistakable taste and characterize it with its highly complex characteristics. Influences from summer green shrubs that grow close to the ground and usually have blueberries on them are also easy to recognize. However, you will have to discover the complete secret of "Tenu Gin" for yourself. Shining in all its glory This gin is ideal for classic cocktails and long drinks such as Negronis, Gimlets or the Gin Martini thanks to its aromatic profile. As a tonic, however, it also reveals its strength at exactly the right point.

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 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.

Elg Gin No. 0 0,5L 47,2%
Elg Gin No. 0 - 0.5L 47.2% The name of the gin is the Danish word for 'elk' and is also the nickname of the master distiller Elsner. Each bottle is personally signed by him and once again clearly shows the attention to detail that goes into Elg. No. 0 Gin. The Elg No. 0 Gin speaks for itself. It is the very first gin that Henrik Elsner, master distiller, released in 2015. Not only is this the distillery's original gin and only produced in a small batch process of around 1,250 bottles, but only three different botanicals are used as flavoring components. Anyone who is familiar with the production of gin will know that significantly more botanicals are normally used here. Elg. No. 0 only needs three: juniper, coriander and carrot. The carrots come from a nursery on the Danish island of Funen. There they are harvested only once a year, in July, and processed within 24 hours into the finest carrot distillate. Due to the numerous chemical compounds in a carrot, this distillate has the best conditions to combine the terpenes from the coriander seeds and the juniper berries.
