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.

Michlers Orange Gin 0.7L 44% Bold steps With the Orange Gin, the British distillery is completing its trio of gins with another particularly flavoured taste experience. While cucumbers were added to the Green Gin to change the flavour, it is almost logical that oranges, or more precisely orange peel, were used in the Orange Gin. This gives the distillery a truly unique selling point with its gins that are deliberately dominated by one flavour. While all of the distillery's rums are otherwise made in England, the gins occupy a special place, because through the cooperation with the German master distiller Frank Braun, the gins are produced in Germany, just like he was back then. The origins of the distillery go back to the Austrian Albert Michler, who founded his liqueur and spirits factory in 1863 in the small town of Buchdorf in Silesia and quickly became very famous in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially for a herbal schnapps and his imported rum. Proven secrets For gin production, the Michler distillery had a special distillation process developed by master distiller Braun. From the unflavored raw spirit to the finished gin, the spirit goes through a total of seven distillation steps, all of which are responsible for the unique taste. But nothing more is known about this and it is a trade secret. Another secret are the gin's botanicals; a total of 15 different herbs, spices and fruits are used, although only a handful of them are known. Of these, juniper and cardamom are the most classic. The exoteric ones include wormwood, coriander, apple peel and a berry similar to the currant and of course the orange peel, which is rich in essential oils. Sun in the bottle The taste of the spirit immediately reminds you of a distant oriental market, with all its exotic products. The intense orange aroma harmonizes wonderfully with all the spices and creates a harmonious, round and warm overall picture. So tart, bitter but above all many fruity nuances play together and make this gin a taste experience with which you can bring summer, sun and warmth into your home.

Content: 0.7 Liter (€29.93 / 1 Liter)*
Michlers Genuine Gin 0.7L 44% Classic style The Albert Michler distillery is mainly known for its expressive rums, but it is probably in every British distillery's blood to devote itself to the country's most famous spirit, gin. In the spirit of founder Albert Michler, the decision was made to distill a unique gin for people looking for new taste experiences. To develop it, the distillery joined forces with German master distiller Frank Braun, and production was also relocated to Germany, making it in the immediate vicinity of Michler's birthplace. In the 19th century, Michler lived and worked in Silesia, which at the time was partly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now Poland. Lots of juniper The distillation of this spirit is quite unique, as it is divided into seven steps and a total of three distillation units, which are responsible for the distinctive taste. For the maceration, the heart of gin production, up to 15 spices and herbs are used, which are largely secret. Nevertheless, some are well known, such as the classic juniper, but then it quickly becomes exotic, as the other ingredients include apple peel, wormwood, rosemary, thyme, citrus fruits and a fruit similar to the currant. All botanicals are placed in the clear raw spirit so that the alcohol bursts the cell walls of the plants and they release their essential oils and aromas. This is how the alcohol is flavored and the gin is created. As more juniper is added during production than in other gins, the distillate tends to be slightly cloudy because there are more essential oils in the spirit, but this has no effect on the taste. Many nuances A variety of different aromas can be detected on the tongue, the main component being juniper. However, it is surrounded by nuances of spices and flowers reminiscent of forest and nature, which are rounded off by fruity, exotic aromas. This results in an overall very soft and round taste.

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 Miniature 0.05L 47.2% 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 these days 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 skill 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 path: carrots. As inappropriate as this may sound at first, when you take a closer look at this vegetable and its biochemical composition, it seems all the more appropriate to test 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. So 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. The gin delivered here comes in a perfect miniature format and is ideal for the first impression.

Elg Gin No. 2 Miniature 0.05L 46.3% 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 mixing ratios 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 you are left with an extract with a slightly reduced alcohol content which can then be used to refine the gin. Special then and 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 a pleasure to drink neat, and you can understand only too well why the gin from "Old Tom" was so well received back then. The gin supplied here comes in a perfect miniature format and is ideal for making a first impression.

Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin, 0.7L 43.3% History and production of Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin: The term Bathtub Gin has a historical meaning that is quite controversial. In the 18th century, the so-called "Gin Craze", or gin epidemic, dominated public life in the United Kingdom. The average per capita consumption of gin was a dangerous 10 liters per year, including children, the sick and the elderly. Triggered by an increase in beer tax, many citizens began to get drunk by making their own alcohol. In addition to pots, pans and tubs, bathtubs were also often used. These proved to be very practical, as they allowed large quantities of brandy to be mixed with all kinds of herbs and spices to mask the poor quality of the distillate. Gin consumption reached threatening levels and social life threatened to collapse. The Gin Act of 1751 finally introduced comprehensive measures which fortunately managed to contain the epidemic. Today, the term "bathtub" refers to the artisanal production of spirits. Quality is now the main focus. The illegal and sometimes inedible products from the 18th century cannot be compared with this. Professor Ableforth produces his award-winning Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin himself and by hand in his small laboratory in the south of England. The highest quality gins are produced there in a specially constructed still. The "mad professor" is particularly proud of the cold compounding system he developed himself. There he extracts the aromas of his botanicals at low temperatures in a particularly gentle way and transfers them into the distillate. In addition to juniper berries and orange peel, these also include cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cardamom. The result is truly impressive. This is also what the judges thought when they named Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin the best compound gin in the world at the 2014 World Gin Awards - a knighthood for Cornelius Ableforth. Tasting of Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin: In the nosing, Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin shows an impressive combination of strong juniper notes, fruity lemons and spicy herbs. All impressions are wonderfully integrated and extremely harmonious. The interplay of fruity sweetness and earthy-floral notes, which are created by cardamom and coriander, is particularly noteworthy here. This means that Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin goes its own way. Juniper is still the dominant aroma, but in contrast to standard London Dry Gins, the complexity is significantly increased by the spices and citrus fruits. On the tongue, Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin then delights with an unexpected power and intensity. The impressions known from the nosing are further strengthened and developed in the mouth. The finish is long and warming, the Christmas spiciness fades into the background over time and is replaced by a pleasant sweetness and fruitiness. Professor Cornelius Ableforth's Bathtub Gin is one of the few gins that also works very well neat. Nevertheless, it is outstanding in a gin & tonic.

Gordon's Gin The Original 1.0L 37.5% Gordon's Gin is the world's best-selling London Dry Gin. And that's despite the fact that it was developed by a Scotsman.

It is known that eight different botanicals are used for Gordon's. These include the hand-picked juniper, which gives it its flavor, as well as coriander seeds, angelica root and five other secret ingredients. Even James Bond appreciated the quality of this gin. In Casino Royale, he specifically orders his Vesper cocktail with Gordon's Gin. From Gin & Tonic to Martini Cocktail, an excellent choice!

City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin 0.7L 47.3% History and production of the City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin: In the 18th century, London was virtually dominated by gin. There was a distillery on almost every street and more than 10 million British gallons of the juniper spirit were produced annually. An enormous amount for the time. Gin was sometimes even produced in bathtubs, but the quality was usually inferior, which was reflected in the pungent smell and an unpleasant alcoholic sharpness. The herbs, spices and fruits from all parts of the world, readily available through the London port, came in handy, as they could elegantly disguise the bad taste. Unbridled consumption brought social and economic life to a virtual standstill, but mainly affected the lower classes of the population. The Gin Act of 1751 permanently restricted and regulated the production of juniper spirits, which resulted in a massive decline in distilleries. Until the opening of the City of London Distillery, there was not a single distillery in the heart of the English capital for over 200 years. The City of London is the economic and historical center of the city and is considered one of the largest financial centers in the world. Due to its size, the inner core is also called the Square Mile. The City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin was created based on this name, to highlight the special status of the small London craft distillery. The choice of botanicals can be described as classic. In addition to juniper berries, coriander seeds, iris roots, angelica, licorice and fresh orange and lemon peel are also used. The City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin is bottled with a strong 47.3% alcohol by volume, which ensures an intense, full-bodied taste. Taste of the City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin: The aroma of the City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin is initially dominated by juniper berries, as you would expect from authentic London Dry Gin.

The City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin has an extremely strong and intense taste at the start, as well as being full-bodied and highly complex. Ripe juniper berries are present first, accompanied by harmonious notes of slightly tart grapefruit, sweet oranges and slightly sour lemons. The delicate herbal and spicy nuances add to the complexity and depth. The finish is long and warming, with hints of liquorice and ginger. Overall, the City of London Square Mile London Dry Gin has a powerful, intense character, which makes it particularly suitable for use in cocktails and mixed drinks.

Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin, 0.5L 45% History of Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin: The Journeyman Distillery, founded in 2011 by Bill Welter, is fully committed to the production of organic spirits. The principle of the Journeyman Distillery is therefore that all ingredients used must be organic and, if possible, regionally grown and that sustainability and environmental protection are taken into account during production. Although the Journeyman Distillery only opened four years ago, a visit to it gives the impression of an old distillery that has been in operation for many generations. This is largely due to the historic building in which it was built. It is the historic factory site of the EK Warren Featherbone Factory in Three Oaks, Michigan, where corsets were once made. The EK Warren Featherbone Factory revolutionized the manufacture of corsets by using quills instead of whalebone. These were much softer and therefore more comfortable to wear and also had the great advantage of being widely available and therefore cheaper. The factory at that time was extremely successful, which also explains why they equipped the factory floor with high-quality materials such as maple wood. The building has lost little of its charm to this day and gives the Journeyman Distillery a historic flair. Production of the Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin: One of the most extraordinary products from the Journeyman Distillers is undoubtedly the Bilberry Black Hearts Gin. The basis is a raw spirit made from 100% organically grown wheat, which is then flavored with nine herbs and spices, the so-called botanicals. After 24 hours of maceration, the distillate is finely distilled in a copper still from Germany. This is not a simple compound gin, as is often the case these days. Alongside juniper, the so-called "bilberry" is the main ingredient. The bilberry is a berry that is related to the blueberries known here. However, it is much smaller and very difficult to cultivate. Bilberries also taste similar to blueberries, but have a much more intense flavor. This is also evident in the Bilberry Black Hearts Gin, which tastes very pure and fruity. Taste of the Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin: The Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin has a truly beguiling aroma. An intense fruitiness of juniper berries and the eponymous bilberries flows relentlessly through the entire room. In the background there are fine herbal aromas, as well as lemon peel, wild berries and hints of liquorice. The taste of the Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin also shows its fruity side. Once again juniper and bilberries take center stage. There are also light citrus notes, coriander, ginger and liquorice. The mouthfeel is extremely soft, almost creamy and ensures a long-lasting, warming finish full of intense fruitiness and light herbal notes. With a strong 45% vol. The Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Gin is ideal for cocktails and long drinks. A successful gin that can also be enjoyed neat when slightly chilled.

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.

Sibling Triple Distilled Gin, 0.7L 42% History and production of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin: The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is, as the name suggests, produced by four siblings. The young distillers grew up in the English city of Cheltenham, where their parents own their own microbrewery. The creation of hand-crafted alcoholic beverages was, so to speak, in their blood. The newly built distillery in the heart of Cheltenham is equipped with the highest quality distilling equipment currently available on the market. A particular highlight is the glass Carter Head still, which allows you to follow the entire distilling process up close. For the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin, the base distillate is produced in-house and no purchased neutral alcohol is used, as is usual with small craft distilleries. Double distilled in the beautiful Carter Head still and then carefully filtered, an absolutely pure vodka is created, which forms the basis for the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin. The complex aroma is ultimately provided by the sophisticated steam infusion process. The vodka is fed into the Carter Head still and heated. The heat causes the distillate to boil and steam rises. This penetrates the botanicals in the upper part of the still and absorbs their taste and aroma. After the subsequent condensation phase, the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is collected and bottled in stylishly designed bottles. The botanicals used include juniper berries, orange and lemon peel, as well as vanilla and blueberries. These ingredients are unusual at first glance, but they create an extremely fresh and unique taste profile that elegantly sets itself apart from classic, juniper-based gins. Taste of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin: On the nose, the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is extremely fresh and fruity. Juniper berries, lemons, oranges and ripe blueberries are clearly perceptible and have a wonderfully harmonious effect. Sweet notes of vanilla and honey also provide a lot of complexity and elegance. The taste of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is mild and soft. The botanicals that are already evident in the aroma also remain dominant on the tongue. The blueberries in particular come into their own and are therefore long-lasting in the memory. Together with the fruity accents of the oranges, lemons and juniper berries, they form a harmonious unit. Hints of vanilla and caramel support this. The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin stands out from classic London Dry Gins with its fruity, sweet aroma. The use of blueberries also gives it a special status. It is precisely this twist that makes the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin so exciting and interesting and ultimately makes it an unreserved recommendation. The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is also available in the practical miniature bottle here in the shop.

Sibling Triple Distilled Gin Miniature, 0.05L 42% History and production of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin: The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is produced by four siblings in the southern English town of Cheltenham. The age of the young distillers is particularly remarkable. When the Sibling Distillery first opened its doors in 2014, they were all younger than 23 years old. The four brothers and sisters, whose parents own a small microbrewery, are particularly proud of the unique still. It is the only crater head still in Europe made of glass and stainless steel. This was specially designed for the Sibling Distillery and enables permanent control of the distillation process. The basis for the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is the specially produced, crystal-clear and absolutely pure vodka. The siblings have deliberately decided to distill the base distillate themselves rather than buying it externally in order to meet their own quality standards and to be able to monitor the entire production process. The complex steam infusion process is then used. The vodka is fed into the Carter Head still and heated evenly. The rising steam penetrates the botanicals in the still, which include juniper berries, orange and lemon peel, as well as blueberries and vanilla, and absorbs their taste and aroma. This creates a completely natural, fresh taste profile that is sure to delight. Taste of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin: The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin has a wonderfully fresh and at the same time fruity bouquet. The botanicals used are well selected and bring out a unique aroma profile. The blueberries deserve special mention. This innovative ingredient is extremely intense and leaves a lasting mark on the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin. The aromas of the blueberries go perfectly with the otherwise classic botanicals such as juniper berries and citrus fruits. It is precisely this combination of progressiveness and tradition that ultimately makes the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin so recommendable. Ripe blueberries, oranges, lemons and juniper berries also form the flavor backbone of the Sibling Triple Distilled Gin. In addition, sweet notes such as vanilla and caramel and the slight spiciness of ginger provide a lot of complexity. The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is extremely soft and mild on the tongue, without lacking in flavor depth. The alcohol strength of 42% vol. is well chosen and contributes to the velvety, oily mouthfeel. The finish is long-lasting and shows not only an intense fruitiness but also a certain spiciness. The Sibling Triple Distilled Gin is also available as a 0.7 l bottle here in the shop.

Boodles London Dry Gin 0.7L 40% History and production of Boodles London Dry Gin Boodles London Dry Gin is a London Dry Gin that has been produced since 1845. It was named after the world-famous Boodle's Gentleman's Club in London, which has been a popular meeting place for the British upper class since 1762.

What exactly is gin?
Gin is a flavored spirit based on neutral alcohol. Its characteristic profile comes from juniper berries and additional botanicals. To help you keep track when buying gin online and comparing different styles, the most important features are summarized below.
Quick overview of gin characteristics:
Alcohol content
In the European Union, gin must contain at least 37.5% alcohol by volume. Many well-known gins are bottled at around 40%, while stronger expressions can be significantly higher. A higher alcohol content can add more depth and aroma in cocktails.
Flavor and aromas
Juniper is always at the center. Depending on the recipe, it is accompanied by citrus notes, herbs, spices, or floral nuances. The spectrum ranges from crisp and dry to noticeably sweeter gin styles with a softer texture.
Botanicals
Botanicals are the plant-based ingredients that give gin its aroma. Typical botanicals include juniper, coriander, angelica root, cinnamon bark, pepper, lavender, citrus fruits, and orange peel. Many producers also use regional herbs or unusual ingredients, creating distinctive and unique gin styles.
Color
Most gins are clear. Barrel-aged expressions can take on golden or amber tones. Sloe gin and other blackthorn-based gins often show an intense red color and are among the popular sweeter gin varieties.
Origin
The origins of gin can be traced back to the Netherlands in the 17th century, where genever was used as a medicinal spirit. Genever was made with juniper berries, which are the fruit of the juniper plant. In the 18th century, “gin” made its way to England. It was inexpensive and widely produced due to its relatively simple manufacturing process, which led to its rapid spread. Over time, gin became a globally popular spirit. Today, gin is produced worldwide. In addition to the Netherlands, classic centers include Great Britain and Belgium, as well as many modern distilleries in Germany, Spain, Scandinavia, Japan, and numerous other countries.
Use
Gin is often enjoyed neat, over ice, or in long drinks and cocktails. Well-known examples include the Gin & Tonic, Martini, Negroni, Tom Collins, as well as drinks based on Old Tom and sloe gin. If you want to order gin online, you can also browse our matching recipes for inspiration.
How is gin made?
The production of gin begins with a neutral-tasting base spirit. This is usually made from grain, but it can also be derived from other agricultural raw materials. Juniper berries and additional botanicals are then introduced to create gin’s characteristic aroma.
Typical steps in gin production
-
Maceration
The botanicals are crushed and steeped in the alcohol. During this time, the aromas dissolve and are absorbed by the spirit. The aromatic base is then redistilled, filtered, and diluted with water to reach bottling strength. -
Digestion
Similar to maceration, but with gentle heating. The botanicals are steeped in alcohol and warmed at a moderate temperature. This allows essential oils to dissolve more quickly, making this method especially suitable for roots and woods. -
Vapor infusion or percolation
Alcohol vapor passes through an aroma basket filled with botanicals. The flavors are extracted in a particularly gentle way. The result is often very clean, fresh, and elegant gin profiles.
Many distilleries combine different methods to achieve a distinctive character. After distillation, the gin is diluted with water to reach the desired bottling strength. For aged gin, this is followed by maturation in wooden barrels. For sloe gin or other sweet styles, sloe berries and sugar are added, resulting in a noticeably sweeter gin profile.
What types of gin are there?
Anyone looking to buy gin is quickly faced with the question of which style is the right choice. The sheer variety of gin styles available today can make classification challenging. However, the following styles are generally considered classic.
London Dry Gin
A classic dry gin with a clear juniper and citrus profile. No sugar may be added, and all flavors must be introduced during distillation. Ideal for gin & tonic and many other cocktails.
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.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin This world-famous gin is made according to an old recipe by Charles Tanqueray from the finest grain, the best water and selected botanicals in a fourfold distillation process. Tanqueray Gin has been named the best gin in the world several times in its history at various competitions. The distinctive bottle shape of the Tanqueray probably goes back to old English fire hydrants or historical cocktail shakers. The gin impresses on the nose with its fine spiciness. On the palate it is very complex and tangy. The aftertaste is very delicate and long. This bottling contains the alcohol strength of 43.1%, which is highly valued by bartenders.

Cubical Ultra Premium London Dry Gin 0.7L 45% A cube of gin The Birmingham Langley Distillery produces the base alcohol for Cubical Gin. It is distilled four times and made from the finest English grain. In addition to juniper, lily root powder, liquorice root and cassia tree, Buddha's hand was also used as flavoring botanicals, to name just a few of the extraordinary herbs. The combination of the base alcohol with the herbs and spices takes place in the famous wine cellar 'Bodega Williams & Humbert' in Spain, which is mainly known for its good sherry and wine. The gin is produced using a traditional British process in distillation equipment that is over a hundred years old. A special ingredient - Buddha's hand A main ingredient in all Cubical Gins is the citrus fruit Buddha's hand. The main growing areas are southern China and India. It is very aromatic, rich in essential oils and, in contrast to most other citrus fruits, less bitter. The fruit can be recognized by its unusual shape. It is divided into finger-like sections. Buddha's hand is often used as an offering in Buddhism. Tradition has it that Buddha himself preferred a closed citrus fruit because it more resembled a closed prayer hand. The design With a rather unusual and elegant design, the Cubical Gin stands out from the crowd with its bottle design and indicates the innovative spirit behind the three gins. The exterior immediately indicates the extravagant contents. The taste The nose is dominated by the fresh, fruity aromas of orange peel and Buddha's hand, then the spicy and earthy herbs and roots come through. As you might expect, the citrus notes come through more on the palate, but they are also subtly accompanied by juniper, liquorice and cassia. The alcohol is only slightly noticeable here, as the Ultra Premium Gin only has 45% ABV. This fruity gin is best served as the main ingredient in a good gin and tonic.

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.

Ransom Spirits developed its Old Tom Gin with the help of the famous cocktail historian David Wondrich, who also developed a Curaçao with Cognac Ferrand that was named "Spirit of the Year 2013".In the production of Ransom Old Tom Gin, a malty spice is used, which is also why the subtle malt notes on the nose are due to it. After distillation, various herbs and spices are added to the base for maceration and then distilled in small pot stills and the best fraction of the distillation is bottled. A great Old Tom Gin that is ideal for the Martinez cocktail.

Ableforths Bathtub Sloe Gin 0.5L 33.8% Bathtub Gin If you translate 'Bathtub Gin' literally, this gin means 'bathtub gin' and is an allusion to the time of Prohibition in America. During this time, alcohol lovers tried everything possible to get their hands on a fine tipple. In the 1920s, many tried their hand at this field as amateurs. There were many poor quality variants, often consisting of a mixture of cheap wheat distillate and water, to which additional flavors had been added. If the bottles available at the time were too big to be filled under the sink, people would resort to the bathtub tap and often the alcohol was distilled in the bathtub at home. This is how the name 'Bathtub Gin' came about. The Bathtub Sloe Gin by Ableforth is a special edition of the Bathtub Gin. The gin is produced using the cold-compounded distilling process. It is a process that has almost been forgotten. It does not use heat and therefore achieves a much better aromatic fullness. The packaging of each bottle is special: Each bottle is wrapped by hand, tied and dipped in wax. Professor Cornelius Ableforth, who is behind this impressive gin, has selected a number of herbs and spices to combine with the sloes, including coriander, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. The Bathtub Sloe Gin As soon as you open the bottle you are surprised by an incredibly fruity aroma. In combination with the spices used, the gin creates an association with freshly baked cake. The taste then surprises you with marzipan and juniper aromas. Berries, citrus fruit and vanilla meet oak and tannin to create a harmonious taste. Bathtub Sloe Gin impresses with a spicy and long finish. You should simply enjoy this sloe gin neat, best chilled in summer and warm in winter for a change.

Plymouth Gin Navy Strength 0.7L 57% Plymouth Gin is a unique type of gin and has a protected designation of origin.

Made from the finest grain and pure water from Dartmoor National Park, this gin is a symbol of English distillery art.The taste of Plymouth Gin Navy Strength reveals a distinct lightness with a subtle fresh juniper note and balanced citrus aromas and a slightly earthy note. The slight sweetening of the gin also creates an excellent complexity and concentration of aromas.Plymouth Gin is elegance. Its smooth taste and fine balance of flavors make it an excellent choice in all kinds of mixed drinks. It is not without reason that it is called Navy Strength.It is tradition that all ships leaving their home port of Plymouth carry a certain amount of this high-proof gin with them. In earlier times, if the gunpowder became damp and the cannons became unusable, the battle readiness could be restored by pouring the 57% gin over it and then lighting it.

Kimerud Navy Strength Gin 0.5L 57% Gin Navy Strength What does that actually mean? This name goes back to the Royal Navy in the 18th century, when it was prescribed that a certain amount of gin had to be on board every ship. At that time, gin was considered a cure-all for many illnesses and ailments. As demand grew, however, naval officers began to suspect that their suppliers were selling them botched gin. They began to subject the gin to a simple test: if you poured some gin over the gunpowder stored on the ship and it just started to smoke or didn't ignite at all, you knew that it was diluted gin. Only gin that ignited the gunpowder was 'real' gin and had at least 114 proof. This specification has prevailed to this day and is why it is called Navy Strength Gin. Kimerud Farm The history of the distillery begins in 1785 on the Kimerud farm, which is located west of Oslo in Lier. This location with its clean air and nutrient-rich soil offers perfect conditions for starting the distillery and growing herbs and berries. The Kimerud Navy Strength Gin is dedicated to Jørgen Kristian Has Nilsen, the grandfather of the master distiller at Kimerud. Only regional botanicals that also grow on the Kimerud Farm 1785 in northern Norway are used for Kimerud Gin. In addition to the epic aspect, these also have another important role. Because of the harsh, cold climate in Norway, plants grow much more slowly there than is the case in our latitudes. This gives the plants much more time to grow and develop their full aroma. One of these special 22 herbs/botanicals in Kimerud Gin is the 'Golden Rood'. It is a very old herb and was used a lot in the Viking Age (800-1050 AD).

Aged Gin
Gin that is matured in wooden barrels, allowing it to develop additional aromas such as vanilla, caramel, and toasted notes. An exciting alternative for fans of whisky or rum.
Nagu Oak Aged Gin 0.5L 47% Finnish Gin Nagu Gin is produced on the southwest coast of Finland. Here, on a small group of islands called Nagu, you will find the small artisan distillery that was founded in 1996. It lay dormant for several years before two childhood friends plucked up the courage to return to their home island and take over the distillery. The small distillery's first 'new' small batch gin left the distillery in 2019, and two new products followed in 2020, the 'Akvavi' and the 'Oak Aged Gin'. The aim is to give the gin a typically Nordic character, so in addition to juniper, rosemary, fennel and spruce shoots are macerated in alcohol for a good 24 hours. The Oak Aged Gin The 'base gin' was used as the basis for the Oak Aged Gin. This then matures for 100 days in New American Oak barrels. This also creates a fine, sweet vanilla aroma and the notes of the oak wood are also transferred to the gin. The color of the gin also changes as it matures in the barrel. Oak Aged Gin is no longer a clear distillate; the gin has a wonderful amber color.

Harahorn Cask Aged Gin 0.5L 41.7% Det Norske Brenneri The production facility of the Det Norske distillery is in Grimstad in southern Norway. After the Norwegian production monopoly was lifted in 2015, the distillery was the first private distillery in Norway. The distillery got off to a great start with its craft gin in 2015. For more than a year, the master distillers experimented with different berries and plants to get what they consider to be the perfect recipe for their craft gin. Since fruits, berries and herbs taste so particularly good in hardly any other place in the world due to the special climate in Norway, Harahorn Gin's contain four regional ingredients from land and sea: juniper from Røros, blueberries from Nordmarka on the outskirts of Oslo, rhubarb from Grimstad and seaweed from the city. Harahorn Hunters and miners have sworn they have seen it for many centuries. In North American folklore, this creature is called the Jackalope. In Norway, it is known as the Harahorn. The classic Harahorn Gin uses juniper berries as well as blueberries, rhubarb, bladderwrack, marjoram and angelica from the Norwegian wilderness. This edition of Harahorn Gin has also been aged for a year in Oloroso sherry casks. This creates a premium gin with smoothness and elegance, specially developed for classic drinks.

For this reason, all products will be bottled in a specially designed and attractive designer bottle. The history of Zuidam Destillers The Zuidam distillery was founded in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam. Zuidam's idea was to set up a small distillery that specialises in very exclusive products. He therefore built his distillery on just 300m² with a small copper pot still and a small production line. Zuidam's beginnings were rather slow and it took a good 10 years before its reputation as one of the best distilleries in the country was established. However, the final breakthrough only came after his wife Helene von Zuidam took over the design of the products. The distillery, which has now expanded to 3600m² and 4 pot stills, is now run by the two brothers Patrick and Gilbert, with their parents always keeping a watchful eye on the two. While Patrick looks after the distillery, Gilbert is responsible for sales and marketing. The taste of Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years For this special bottling, the best barrels in the distillery were selected after a storage period of at least 60 months. Before being stored in barrels, the genever was distilled three times in a pot still from the best wheat and barley malt, as well as corn. Various botanicals, such as juniper, liquorice root and aniseed, were then added to the distillate and macerated for some time. The end result of this complex production method is a very special genever, with a rich vanilla and toffee aroma and a silky mouthfeel. One of the best genevers on the market!

Genever: The Predecessor of Modern Gin
Genever is a traditional juniper spirit from the Netherlands and Belgium. Often referred to as Genever or Dutch gin, it is considered the ancestor of modern gin. The main difference from many contemporary gins lies in the base distillate.
Malty Character
Genever is often based on malt wine, a grain-based distillate. This gives it a grainier, rounder, and softer profile than many modern dry gins.
Aroma Profile
Juniper is present but less dominant. Grain notes, subtle herbs, and a light spiciness shape the flavor.
Styles
Among others, there is jonge Genever and oude Genever. These terms refer more to the recipe and style than to actual aging. Jonge Genever may contain a maximum of 15% malt wine, while Oude Genever must have at least 15% malt wine content.
How to Drink
Genever is traditionally enjoyed slightly chilled and neat. It also works well as a special base for cocktails and long drinks.

FAQs | Questions and Answers About Gin
- What exactly is London Dry Gin?
-
London Dry Gin is a dry gin with clear juniper and citrus notes. All botanicals must be added during distillation, and no sugar is allowed. It is considered a classic style for Gin & Tonic and many other cocktails.
- How much alcohol should gin contain?
-
Gin must contain at least 37.5% alcohol in the European Union. Many brands are around 40% or slightly higher. Stronger variants, like Navy Strength Gin, have an even higher alcohol content and offer a more intense aroma.
- How much does a good gin cost?
-
Good gins often start at around €15–25 for classic brands. Premium and special gins usually range between €25 and €45. Beyond that, you’ll find limited editions and aged gins, aimed more at enthusiasts and collectors.
- What is Genever?
-
Genever is a traditional juniper spirit from the Netherlands and Belgium, often referred to as Genever or Dutch gin. It is based on a malt-forward base distillate and therefore tastes grainier and softer than many modern dry gins. Genever is considered the direct predecessor of today’s gin.
- What is the best Genever gin?
-
There is no single “best” Genever, as it largely depends on personal taste. Mild, younger Genevers are suitable for beginners, while malt-forward and aged varieties appeal to those who enjoy stronger flavors. The best approach is to try different Genever types to find your favorite.
- What is Sloe Gin?
-
Sloe Gin is a gin-based liqueur made with sloe berries and sugar. It is significantly sweeter than classic gin, has a red color, and combines fruity and slightly tart notes. Sloe Gin is enjoyable neat, on ice, or in sparkling cocktails and is perfect for anyone who likes sweet gin varieties.
- Gin: cucumber or lemon?
-
Whether cucumber or lemon works better depends on the gin chosen. Lemon or lime emphasizes the fresh side of dry gin and London Dry Gin. Cucumber pairs especially well with floral or herbal gins and many modern New Western gins.
- Which gin is best for beginners?
-
Beginners often start with a balanced London Dry Gin, which tastes great in a Gin & Tonic. Those who prefer a softer, rounder style can try an Old Tom Gin or Sloe Gin. This helps determine whether one prefers dry or sweet gin styles.
- What exactly is a sweet gin?
-
Sweet gin usually refers to styles like Old Tom Gin or Sloe Gin, where sugar is intentionally added. These gins are rounder, softer, and often fruitier than classic dry gins. They are particularly suitable for cocktails where a very dry gin would taste too strong.
- How should gin be stored?
-
Gin should be stored tightly sealed, in a cool place, and protected from direct light. Large temperature fluctuations should be avoided. Under these conditions, gin remains stable for a long time and retains its aroma.
