Windspiel Premium Dry Gin 0.5L 47% Windspiel Distillery The special feature of Windspiel Gin begins with the selection of the base alcohol. Since the brand is in honor of Frederick the Great, king at the time, as the 'discoverer' of the potato and alleviated famine by growing it in Prussia and Pomerania, it is obvious to create a base alcohol from this very product. If you look at the wide range of gins, this is a special feature; only a few products are based on potatoes. What's more, these come from the Eifel region, which is known to have one of the mineral-rich volcanic soils and produces even more intense potatoes. The rest of the production follows the traditional production of London Dry Gin. It is distilled several times, but no botanicals or other things are added afterwards. Tasting and taste After opening the bottle, the first thing you notice are sweet, fresh notes. Classic gin notes are also noticeable. These typical aromas are more clearly recognizable on the palate, and spicy, peppery notes of coriander are added.

Manguin Oli Gin 0.7L 41% South of France In Avignon, in the south of France, right on the edge of Provence, a company has settled that today stands for the pure expression of the Provencal olive. This is the Manguin distillery. It was founded by Claude Manguin, who owned dozens of hectares of land in the 1940s and planted pear and peach trees there. In 1957, he tried distilling his fruit varieties and 'La Poire Manguin, a pear brandy, was born. Since 2011, however, two other owners have run the company. Béatrice and Emmanuel Hanquiez have made it their mission with the distillery to capture the pure expression of Provence. Oli`Gin A very special expression of Provence is that of Oli´Gin. A gin is distilled using the pot still method, the aroma of which is dominated by the salty notes of olives. The two main protagonists, olive and juniper, are supported by salt and iodine tones as well as floral violet notes and are rounded off with a hint of truffle.

Nolet Dry Gin Silver Set including glass 0.7L 47.6% Dutch family business With know-how spanning over 325 years of family history, the Dutch distillery offers spirits of the highest quality. The Nolet family has been running the distillery for 11 generations and is based in Schiedam, very close to Rotterdam, and is therefore perfectly connected to shipping traffic. Nolet's Silver Dry Gin The gin from the family distillery in the Netherlands is by far one of the best gins in the world. The botanicals used set it apart from the crowd and give it an exquisite aroma. The exceptional botanicals include Turkish rose petals, peaches and aromatic raspberries. This special recipe for the gin was developed by the 10th and 11th generations together. It is very complex and time-consuming. Production begins with the preparation of separate macerates: firstly, herbs and other botanicals are soaked in alcohol, while secondly white peach, ripe raspberries and spices such as saffron and verbena are also macerated. These are then also distilled separately before being combined. Nolet Gin in a gift set with balloon glass The aroma of the white peach and the sweetness of the ripe raspberries in particular characterize the taste experience of the gin. It initially seems very strong on the palate, but this quickly develops into a soft and smooth drinking experience. The notes of the herbs remain elegantly in the background the whole time, allowing the fruity, sweet notes to take precedence. The 0.7l bottle of the harmoniously fruity Nolet's Gin comes with a matching balloon glass.

Wessex Sicilian Lemon and Ginger Gin 0.7L 40.3% For the British Wessex distillery, it is particularly important to use plants, flowers and herbs that reflect Wessex in medieval times. Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and herbaria were particularly helpful for this research, as they provided information on exactly what was being planted at that time and also on the healing properties of individual plants or herbs. For example, there is chamomile, which was said to relieve eye problems when picked before sunrise, or hibiscus, which was said to cure gout when crushed in combination with lard, etc. Sicilian Lemon & Ginger is the latest addition to the Wessex Gin series and offers a delicious, spicy, new variation of gin. The recipe for this gin includes peels of freshly harvested Sicilian lemons (depending on seasonal availability) combined with warming root ginger. Sicilian Lemon & Ginger perfectly combines all the scents and aromas of natural Sicilian lemon with the sharp, spicy notes of ginger, surrounded by distinctive juniper notes - all beautifully balanced.

Edinburgh Raspberry Gin 1.0L 40% Since 2010, the Edinburgh distillery under the management of the Spencerfield Spirit Company has been known for its various gin varieties, which are produced in two distilleries. The classic London Dry Edinburgh Gin, on which the other varieties are based, is distilled from 14 carefully selected botanicals. Some of these include lavender blossoms, lemongrass, pine needles and mulberries. 100% Scottish raspberries This Raspberry Gin from the Edinburgh distillery was refined with raspberries from Scotland. They definitely wanted to source a regional product for this product, although Scotland is probably not considered the number 1 growing region for raspberries. The Perthshire region, however, offers the perfect climate for growing berries. The fresh raspberries, picked by hand, are macerated in the gin for a month, so that they can slowly release not only their coloring, but also their fruity, sweet aroma into the gin. Before bottling, a little sugar is added and then the gin is reduced with water to a pleasant drinking strength.
Wessex Alfred the Great Gin 0.7L 41.3% 2017 With the aim of producing a variety of particularly fresh and fruity gins using local products, the Clark family founded the Wessex Distillery in 2017. The family, especially Jonathan Clark, is no stranger to the gin world; he founded and ran the City of London Distillery until the Wessex Distillery was founded. Alfred the Great Gin The name of the gin, as well as the ingredients it contains, allude to the time of Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. Historical research was used to find out which herbs, spices and plants were grown in the capital at that time. When tasting, it is clear that Wessex Alfred the Great is a very balanced and smooth gin. At first it is very close to nature, with juniper and earthy angelica notes. Pine juniper stands for Alfred's battles against the Vikings. This is accompanied by spicy notes of coriander and some fresh notes of lemon. This represents his appreciation of learning and scholarship as well as his close connection to Rome. And at the end, slightly floral aromas are recognizable, leading to a sophisticated, balanced finish.

Hendrick's Gin Orbium 0.7L 43.4% Limited Release The new Hendricks Gin is not only visually different from its predecessors, but also has new flavors in terms of taste. The new design of the bottle is blue with a turquoise label, which is probably a hint of the special ingredient in the new gin. Master distiller Lesley Gracie, who has been in charge of producing Hendricks for many years, decided on a new flavor for this limited release. In addition to additional quinine and wormwood, she also adds blue lotus flowers, but the basic recipe remains the same as for the original Hendricks Gin. Even when choosing the name, the distillery did not simply opt for a pump name. 'Orbium' refers to the Latin word 'Orbis' and means something like circle. It is intended to indicate the harmonious combination of flavors in the gin, which of course is not only represented by the Orbium itself, but much more by the entire style of the distillery. New impressions As already mentioned, the original Hendricks Gin recipe forms the basis for the Orbium, which is supplemented by wormwood and quinine, which are primarily responsible for a significantly more bitter note, as well as blue lotus, which brings a light, fresh and floral note to the gin. Together, the three additional ingredients make for an exceptionally complex gin, which may be a little unusual at first, but somehow at the same time also exudes a very familiar, cozy feeling and is convincing all along the line with a long-lasting aftertaste.

Tanqueray No. Ten Grapefruit & Rosemary Gin 1.0L 45.3% Typical London Dry Gin Founded in 1830, the Tanqueray gin brand has been around for almost 200 years. This is thanks to its namesake and founder Charles Tanqueray, who founded the distillery in the London district of Bloomsbury. To this day, Tanqueray Gin is made according to the founder's original recipe. Summer is coming You can now notice this more and more with various manufacturers of gin and co. Tanqueray is also joining in and is bringing the No. Ten Grapefruit & Rosemary Gin onto the market.

Gordons Sicilian Lemon Gin 1.0L 37.5% Over 250 years of Gordons Gin To produce a high-quality spirit, you need not only your own high standards for the product but also the perfect ingredients. When Alexander Gordon turned his passion into a vocation, this was exactly what motivated him to find the ideal location right from the start. He chose the London district of Southwark, which is known for its very clean water. He trained in the art of distilling and developed his very own gin with a strong character. This has always been characterized by its strong juniper note - a typical London Dry Gin - and is therefore the ideal gin for the most famous long drink, 'gin and tonic'. The distillery has been located on Goswell Road in the Clerkenwell district since 1786. Even the Royal Navy and even, since 1925, the Royal Court in England could not resist this classic gin, and Gordons has been a purveyor to the court ever since. Charles Tanqueray & Co. took over the patronage of the distillery in 1898, and since then the full name of the distillery has been 'Tanqueray Gordons & Co. Gin with a summery touch The brand's Sicilian Lemon Gin is a flavored gin that has been given a Mediterranean makeover. It has a bright yellow color and has been refined with lemons from Sicily. These fresh notes complement the zesty juniper flavor that is typical of Gordon. On the palate, these familiar juniper notes quickly change to fresh, juicy lemon notes. This is mixed with the taste of grapefruit and candied lemon zest. In the background there is a certain spicy note reminiscent of thyme.
Hernö Pink BTL (Bottle) Gin Organic 0.5L 42% Founded in 2011 With the purchase of an old farm from the 18th century by Jon Hillgreen in 2011, a new era of a gin distillery in Sweden began. The founder was inspired by the natural beauty of the region around Dala and the craft itself. The distillery produces gins that are produced in copper kettles. Despite its young age, the distillery has already been able to prove how much experience it already has and what great products it creates, because between 2013 and 2017 Hernö Gin was the most award-winning gin in Europe, and in 2017/18 it was named World Best Gin, and further awards have followed steadily. Tasting Hernö Rosa BTL Gin Artificial flavors, additional sugar or color additives are not used in this Hernö Pink BTL Dry Gin. Despite the name and the sweet, fruity notes associated with it, the focus is primarily on a distinct juniper aroma, both on the nose and on the palate, followed by fresh citrus notes and the aroma of red fruits combined with a pleasant spiciness. These fruity aromas enchant the palate at first, but are quickly covered by the notes of juniper. It takes a while for these to assert themselves again. The taste is rounded off by spicy notes of cassis and cinnamon that linger into a long finish.

The already very clear and fresh classic Boe Gin forms the basis for the Passion Gin, complemented by a finely balanced mixture of tropical passion fruit and strong orange notes, the result is a bouquet of fine herbal gin elements and a balanced fruitiness that continues into the finish and creates a warm, lingering finish.

Oslo Gin 0.5L 45.8% The smallest Scandinavian city The wonderful Oslo is located in the middle of impressive fjords and forests and is the capital of Norway. With less than 700,000 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest metropolises in the world and yet is one of the most important cities in the country. Last but not least, Oslo is not only known for its green spaces but also for its museums and art history. The production of special spirits is also a priority here; Berlin and London are not the only ones known for their very own gins. Norway is known for Oslo Gin, with special attention being paid to Grimstadt, which is a good 3.5 hours' drive outside of Oslo. Here Oslo Gin is produced by the well-known brand Det Norske, which some of you may already know from Harahorn Gin. Det Norske – Oslo Gin You can tell where the gin comes from on the label. It features the city's historic map. This excellent gin from the renowned Norwegian distillery reflects the many facets of the Scandinavian country, but above all the city.

This creates a perfectly balanced symphony of clear juniper notes, fresh herbs and fruits. On the palate it is soft and creamy, almost a little oily at the beginning. The aroma of fresh juniper is clearly evident here, along with the aromas of herbs and the aroma of Mencía wine.

Pinckney Bend Gin 0.7L 46.5% Pinckney Bend Destillery It is the small but subtle differences that allow a small artisanal distillery to keep up with the big global corporations. With attention to detail and the preservation of old traditions and stories, you can often achieve more than a mass-produced gin, whiskey or vodka can. American Gin There are a few special features in the production process that make Pinckney Bend Gin very different from others. The most important point is that this gin is handcrafted in very small batches. Furthermore, the botanicals are treated differently. Some of them are macerated and distilled, others are suspended in the column still. These are, of course, some well-known botanicals, such as juniper, coriander or orris, without which the gin would not be gin at all. But special ingredients such as lavender and special citrus fruits are also used. These subtle differences can be recognized on the palate. First a clear juniper aroma, which gives way to a softer, sweeter aroma. The harmonious gin is rounded off by a light citrus finish.

Nagu Small Batch Gin 0.5L 47% Where can you find the Nagu distillery? The Finnish distillery, which was founded in 1996 and is based in the Finnish archipelago, is still largely unknown. This is part of the Baltic Sea, on the southwest coast of Finland. If you want to know exactly, the distillery, based in the Flipper Boats factory, is located on the Nagu archipelago. Hence the name of the gin. The Nagu Spirit After its founding, nothing was produced here for some time until two men who were friends and who had once become friends on the island returned to their homeland. Now, after a certain period of getting used to it and trying it out, they launched their first gin in June 2019: Nagu Small Batch Gin. It is a rather dry and rough gin that is intended to reflect the spirit of the island archipelago. The most distinctive botanicals in this Finnish gin are juniper, rosemary and fennel, as well as the aroma of spruce shoots, which is something you don't normally find in a gin, but which represents the Finnish landscape very well.

Monkey 47 Dry Gin Barrel Cut 0.5L 47% The German brand Monkey Gin from the Black Forest was one of the very first distilleries in Germany to produce gin. As the name suggests, the distillery's label features a monkey. Today, the Black Forest Gin is one of the most popular, and alongside the first product, Monkey Gin, the range is constantly being expanded to include new limited editions. The barrels selected for maturation come from the Palatinate. They are made from a long-forgotten wood, that of the mulberry tree. The company in the Palatinate still makes wooden barrels by hand to refine various distillates. After bottling, the first maturation phase begins. This is where the desired aromas are extracted from the wood. This is followed by the second maturation phase, which takes place in an old granary dating back to 1840. The constant climate with a consistent temperature that prevails there influences the taste even further. Barrel Cut Monkey Gin The new limited barrel-aged edition of Monkey Gin has its own multifaceted taste thanks to the choice of the particularly fragrant aroma of mulberry wood. These aromas are also clearly in the foreground on the palate. They combine with fine notes of roasted wood, a subtle, unobtrusive sweetness and subtle fruit notes.

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.

Modern Dry Gin and New Western Gin
In these styles, juniper takes more of a back seat. Other botanicals such as cucumber, rose petals, tea, or regional herbs are allowed to shine. This category is perfect for anyone looking to discover distinctive and contemporary gin styles.

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.

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!

Malty Character

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
