St. George Dry Rye Single Barrel Gin 0.7L 55.5% St. George Dry Rye Barrel Aged Gin – California's masterful fusion of gin and whiskey St. George Dry Rye Barrel Aged Gin from California is no ordinary gin – it's a bold interpretation that unites the best of both worlds: the spice of a rye whiskey and the elegance of a classic gin. Its unique character lies in its base – 100% rye, the same grain used in fine rye whiskeys. Distilling artistry meets minimalism: Just six select botanicals define this distinctive gin – juniper berries, black pepper, caraway, coriander, grapefruit peel, and lime peel. Juniper plays the starring role, accompanied by spicy and citrus notes that lend it depth and structure. Aging in Pinot Noir Barrels After distillation, this exceptional gin was allowed to rest for over two years in former Pinot Noir barrels – exactly two years, two months, and twenty-four days. This unusual aging process gives it a fascinating interplay of aromas: Fruity notes of red wine combine with the warm spice of rye and the vibrant botanicals to create a complex, harmonious composition. What initially sounds unusual – gin in a red wine barrel – turns out to be a stroke of genius. The wood accentuates the malty and spicy characteristics, lending depth and a velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Aromas & Moments of Pleasure In the glass, St. George Dry Rye Barrel Aged Gin presents itself with a robust body and a balance of freshness and maturity. Notes of ripe juniper, pepper, oak, and subtle fruit hints make it a spirit with character and soul. Whether neat at cask strength, on the rocks, or as the base for sophisticated cocktails, this gin lends a refined rye note to classics like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Martinez. It also demonstrates its exceptional versatility when combined with sherry, umeshu, or ginger. A unique single-cask spirit for connoisseurs seeking the extraordinary—uncompromisingly handcrafted, surprisingly aromatic, and quintessentially St. George: experimental, authentic, and Californian.

Harahorn Pink Gin 0.05L 40% Harahorn represents pure Norway. The small distillery produces only about 300 liters of the fine spirit per batch, ensuring consistently high quality.

Harahorn Orange Dry Gin Miniature 0.05L 42% Det Norske Brennerei Det Norske Brenneri was founded in 2011 by Odd J. Nelvik and Stig Bareksten. They initially wanted to create a milder aquavit by aging the distillate in barrels. In 2014, they launched their first product, 'Arvesølvet Aquavit'. Following the merger with Puntervold AS and Agder Brenneri in 2014, the portfolio has steadily expanded, primarily through the collaboration with Ole Puntervold, a pioneer of Norwegian spirits production. Orange Dry Gin The newest product from the Norwegian distillery is the Orange Dry Gin. This Harahorn Orange Dry Gin miniature (0.05L, 42% ABV) focuses on citrus flavors and is perfect for summer. It contains oranges, lemons, limes, and rhubarb, which create a fresh, fruity, and slightly bitter aroma with a pleasant acidity. Spices also play a role, and so Master Blender Jon Bertelsen opted for a fascinating selection of iris, caraway, pepper, watercress, juniper, and cinnamon.

An Dulaman Memories of Asia Gin 0.5L 41% Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gin marks a milestone as the first gin to be distilled in County Donegal. As well as being the name of an Irish folk song, Dúlamán is also one of our gin seaweeds, recounting the conversation of two seaweed collectors. The coast around Sliabh Liag is home to centuries of knowledge about harvesting and using these natural products, providing an exceptional bounty for such collectors. An Dúlamán bottles commemorate the finds of bottles on the Donegal coast from the casualties of the Spanish Armada. To create An Dúlamán we capture the "Draíocht na Farraige" (the magic of the sea) by using five locally harvested seaweed varieties and six other botanicals. This unique combination makes An Dúlamán as special as the Donegal coast itself. To ensure An Dúlamán retains its characteristic complexity and smoothness, we have learned that Méabh (our still) prefers a low alcohol content in the pot and a narrow temperature range to treat the delicate seaweed. We hit a hell of a narrow cut to get the best out of the distillate. An Dulaman Memories of Asia Gin 0.5L 41% represents the latest addition to Sliabh Liag Distillers' An Dulaman Irish Maritime Gin collection. Unlike previous editions which were declarations of love to the Donegal coast, this edition was inspired by travels to the other side of the world. Developed and distilled in Donegal, this unique and innovative expression was born out of gin distiller and founder Moira Doherty's travels to Asia. For this special An Dulaman Gin Edition, three seaweeds have been replaced with seven exciting new ingredients: oolong tea, ginger, sesame seeds, star anise, hibiscus flowers, sakura (Japanese cherry blossoms preserved in salt) and kaffir lime leaves. These ingredients harmonize beautifully with each other and capture the flavors and scents that characterize life in Hong Kong.

Gin Gold 999.9, 0.7 liter 40% set including glass The history of the Paul Devoille distillery You can't tell at first glance that Gin Gold 999.9 is produced in a small, very artisanal distillery in France. To be more precise, it is the Paul Devoille distillery, which is located in the town of Fougerolles near the border with Switzerland and Germany. Although Fougerolles has just 4,000 inhabitants, the town is well known to many spirits lovers. This is due to the high quality of the absinthes and fruit brandies that have been produced there by various distilleries for centuries. One of these distilleries is the Paul Devoille distillery, which was founded in 1859 by the entrepreneur and master distiller of the same name. The distillery is still family-owned today and the recipes used for the various absinthes mostly come from the founder's recipe books. These are on display, along with many other historical objects, in the MUSEE DES EAUX DE VIE in Lapoutroie (Alsace), which is also run by the family. In addition to classic spirits such as fruit brandy and absinthe, the Paul Devoille distillery has always been known for its innovative new creations. For example, they also produce fruits preserved in alcohol, spirits in cigar tubes and, most recently, gin. The Gin Gold 999.9 The story behind the Gin Gold 999.9 is pretty spectacular. At the end of the 20th century, excavations took place in Alsace, during which a still made of gold was discovered. Since the archaeologists saw no historical value in it, they sold the special still to a local distiller, who spent the next few years developing a "perfect" gin with the help of the golden still. He chose mandarins, vanilla and almonds as ingredients, among others. This resulted in a special gin that was significantly different from previously known products. Gin Gold 999.9 was born! The gin is now produced at the Paul Devoille distillery according to this recipe. The taste of Gin Gold 999.9 Such an unusual gin naturally arouses curiosity and invites you to try it. In addition to juniper, the nose reveals fine aromas of mandarin, ginger, violet and vanilla. On the palate, Gin 999.9 impresses with the taste of freshly cut flowers, almond and angelica root. Gin Gold 999.9 is best served as a long drink without the addition of lemon zest - this would mask the delicate taste of the mandarin.

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin 1.0L 41.3% Charles Tanqueray The founder of the gin brand Tanqueray was a pioneer in the search for the world's best gin and always up for good innovations. On his travels he got to know and appreciate botanicals from all over the world and this is how over 300 different recipes were created. On his countless travels, it is believed that around 1860, he also discovered Seville, which is known for its sun-drenched orange groves. Cross-country Tangueray Gin is one of the most popular types of gin in the world. So it is hardly surprising that the distillery is now once again appearing on the market with a product that is an absolute hit and should not be missing from any bar. Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin is a skilful marriage of England and Spain. In 2018, Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla finally hit the shelves. It is made according to a recipe that is almost 140 years old. It is based on the classic Tanqueray London Dry Gin. This provides the perfect basis for the fruity gin, which takes you on a little trip to the Mediterranean and the orange plantations. Taste Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin combines the Mediterranean aroma of bittersweet Seville oranges with the tried and tested English juniper brandy. There are no overly herbal or floral tones and the focus is on the harmony of juniper and orange. When you open the bottle, you are immediately greeted by the scent of fruity oranges and a hint of honey. This gin is therefore more in the fruity category, but without completely losing its connection to the tried and tested juniper taste! These aromas from the nose also remain on the palate, along with balanced juniper notes and a pleasant bitterness that a gin brings with it. The finish leaves a pleasant aftertaste of juicy, ripe oranges on the palate that makes you want more and is simply a must-have for warm summer evenings!!!

Bombay Sapphire East Gin 0.7L 42% Gin with a Far Eastern touch Bombay Sapphire East Gin takes up the striking design of its successful brother Bombay Sapphire and comes in a well-known light blue bottle and an elegant label dominated by dark tones. The brand, which belongs to the Bacardi Group, is now expanding its product range with another premium gin that is intended to score points primarily with Far Eastern aromas. Currently only available in selected markets, this gin was presented to a wide mass of gin lovers in North American cities towards the end of 2012 and immediately received great applause. The botanicals used Like Bombay Sapphire, the base is based on 10 botanicals. These include Tuscan juniper berries, lily root, Chinese licorice and angelica. For Bombay Sapphire East Gin, the successful recipe has now been expanded to include a few flavorings, and thus Spanish bitter almonds and lemon peel, cinnamon bark from Indonesia, Moroccan coriander, grains of paradise from Africa, lemongrass from Thailand and black pepper from Vietnam have found their way into this exquisite variant of a gin for the 21st century. The production of Bombay Sapphire East Gin Just like the well-known Bombay Sapphire Gin, Bombay Sapphire East is distilled using the so-called steam infusion process, whereby the rising alcohol vapors are passed through a container filled with spices and herbs, thereby gently enriching them with the aromas of the botanicals. It is thanks to this complex process that Bombay Sapphire East Gin knows how to convince with its wonderfully rich nuances and distinctive, complex aroma. Bombay Sapphire East Gin taste Bottled at 42% ABV, this gin is positioned somewhat above Bombay Sapphire, which was castrated in Germany a few years ago from its original 47% ABV to 40% ABV, and as a result this resulted in some unpleasant comments about this questionable step. Black pepper is the dominant first impression here, and the symbiosis it forms with the juniper berries is both surprising and delicate. Tones of lemongrass then spread out, making room for the aromas already found in Bombay Sapphire, such as coriander and citrus peel. A light nutty sweetness can be detected, which can probably be attributed to the use of cinnamon bark and almonds. The conclusion is simple: A very balanced, complex gin with an exotic flair, ideally suited to provide the basis for great classics such as Gin & Tonic or Dry Martini Cocktails.

Ginself Gin Miniature 0.05L 40% A good gin can only come from its homeland Great Britain? Wrong thought, one would now say, because more and more companies from other countries are trying their hand at gin production: With success! Recently it has become apparent that the Spanish can also produce excellent gin. Ginself, a gin from Valencia, shows the connoisseur a rather subliminally Mediterranean gin, but one that is produced with a great deal of dedication and attention to detail. Ginself Gin A lot of the work is still done by hand and so this is an absolute premium gin, because a maximum of 500 liters are produced in each batch. This takes place in a historic facility that dates back to the 18th century. The raw alcohol for Ginself is distilled from beets in which the botanicals are then soaked for 24 hours. The distillery draws the water used to make the gin from the springs of the Sierra de España. The company deliberately avoids frills when selecting botanicals and instead relies primarily on sun-drenched citrus fruits, for which the southern state is also known. The focus is on orange blossom, bitter oranges and tangerines. In addition to the classic botanicals such as angelica root, whose Mediterranean roots also come from Valencia or Sicily, tiger nuts are also used in Ginself, creating slightly nutty, tart tones. The taste On the nose, a very fresh, fruity aroma of aromatic tangerines and orange blossoms. The aroma is filled with spicy and floral notes. In terms of taste, Ginself offers a soft and mouth-filling gin. Strong citrus notes mixed with light earthy tones fulfill the expectations that you already had in your head when you opened the bottle. The finish then offers a long-lasting freshness that reminds you for a while of the citrus fruits that were used here. You should definitely try this gin neat, but it can also be served excellently as a gin & tonic, which is particularly suitable for fans of more fruity tones. Now also as a miniature.

Journeyman Bilberry Black Hearts Aged Gin 0.5L 45% The Journeyman Distillery The Journeyman Distillery is a very young distillery that was founded in 2011. At Journeyman, they are fully committed to one word: "Organic". The English word organic means organically grown and so it is the principle of the Journeyman Distillery that all ingredients used come from organic and, if possible, regional cultivation. Although the Journeyman Distillery only opened in 2011, a visit gives the impression that it is much older. This is due to the building in which it was built. It is the historic factory site of the EK Warren Featherbone Factory in Three Oaks, Michigan - a former corset factory. The EK Warren Featherbone Factory revolutionized the manufacture of corsets by using quills instead of whale bones. These were much softer and therefore more comfortable to wear. 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 the right flair! The Bilberry Black Hearts Gin The Bilberry Black Hearts Gin is an "organic" gin. The base is a high-quality alcohol made from 100% organically grown wheat, which is then flavored with 9 herbs and spices, the so-called botanicals. Alongside juniper, the so-called "bilberry" is the main botanical. The bilberry is a berry that is related to the blueberry that is well 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. The Bilberry Black Hearts Gin has a similarly intense taste and is very pure and fruity. With a strong 45% ABV, it is ideal for cocktails and long drinks and has subtle traces of black liquorice in the aftertaste! A successful gin that can also be drunk neat when slightly chilled!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zuidam Oude Genever 5 years, 0.5L 38% Classic spirits and liqueurs from the Netherlands The Dutch distillery Zuidam is one of the few spirits producers in the Netherlands that still produces its products in a very traditional and artisanal way. All products used by Zuidam are 100% natural and carefully selected. Another special feature of the distillery is that it is still family-run. All recipes for the products produced there are developed in collaboration by Fred van Zuidam and his son Patrick. They see their products as a kind of painting, which is painted with aromas instead of colors. Zuidam places just as much emphasis on the packaging as on the quality of the products. 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!
