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.
