Hernö Juniper Cask Gin - A special organic gin from Sweden

Since 2011, the northernmost gin distillery in the world has been located in the Swedish town of Dala, near the town of Härnösand in Ångermanland. We are talking about the Hernö Gin Distillery, which was founded by the pioneer Jon Hillgreen. In 1999, Jon Hillgreen worked as a bartender in London with some friends. During training courses in the catering industry, he had the opportunity to try over 100 different gins. The variety excited him and he decided to delve deeper into the subject. In the following months, Jon Hillgreen visited numerous gin distilleries in England and began to look into the technological side of gin production. He quickly realised that he wanted to produce his own gin, which is why he finally put his plan into action in 2011 and founded the Hernö Gin Distillery!

The Hernö Gin Distillery was built in the classic Swedish style. The building's striking red and white painted wooden beams can be seen from a long way away and suggest that something special is being created here.

The Hernö Juniper Cask Gin
The Hernö Juniper Cask Gin is the first gin in the world to be fully matured in barrels made from the juniper tree! The small barrels have a filling volume of just 39.25 litres and were made by hand.

The gin, which is made entirely with organically grown botanicals, gets its very own juniper note through this type of barrel maturation, which is not comparable to that of classic bottlings. In addition to juniper, other typical gin aromas such as nuances of citrus fruits are of course noticeable.

But the Juniper Cask Gin from Hernö is not only a highlight in terms of taste, but also in terms of appearance! The neck of each individual bottle is dipped four times by hand in beeswax to give the bottle a special look! This special gin is currently very popular in the gin scene and is sought after by connoisseurs worldwide due to its limited availability!

Hernö Sipping Gin 2019 0.5L 49.1% Hernö Distillery When the founder of the Hernö Distillery, Jon Hillgren, moved to London in 1999 and earned his money there as a bartender, his attention to the drink for which the English were so famous grew. He quickly became particularly enthusiastic about balanced and very special gins. Hillgren continued to work with gin outside of everyday bar life, too; he was interested in gin production and took part in workshops. He also took scientific studies and techniques from major manufacturers to heart. During this time, Jon acquired a lot of knowledge and the craft of gin production. When he returned to his home in northern Sweden in 2011, he founded the Hernö Distillery. With the new foundation he also earned himself the title of 'northernmost distillery in the world', as the distillery is located in the small town of Dala in the High Coast region in the far north of Sweden. Sipping Gin The idea behind the Sipping Gin series was to contribute to a stronger visitor industry as a local company. The first editions at the Hernö Open House, as well as the High Coast Whisky Festival and the exclusive first order options for the special editions, the aim was to increase the attractiveness of the gin. For the Sipping Gin No. 1.3. ex Ardbeg Cask, the gin was stored for 21 days in old whisky barrels that were previously used by Ardbeg. Master Distiller Jon Hillgren himself says that this bottling is the 'most powerful' in this series so far. When tasting, the first thing you notice is the characteristic Hernö taste, but then the influences of the barrel storage become apparent: peat, oak and smoke aromas have been transferred into the gin. Its taste is convincing with smoke aromas and a fine scent of caramel and fresh coffee. Vanilla and fresh citrus notes are present in the background and offer an unforgettable experience. It's always worth being quick with the special limited editions from the Hernö distillery, because as is often the case with Hernö, the focus was initially on sales at the High Coast Whisky Festival and at Hernö Gin's Open House in Dala. Only a few bottles are now available for public sale.

Hernö Pink BTL (Bottle) Gin (Bio) 0,5L 42%
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.

Juniper Bird Schiedam Dry Gin 0,7L 42%
Juniper Bird Schiedam Dry Gin 0.7L 42% Juniper berries are the absolutely indispensable ingredients in gin and genever. It is well known that these fine spirits would not exist without the fragrant richness of the juniper trees. However, there is an unsung hero in this story - the juniper bird. Both the bird and the tree depend on each other for survival - by feeding on this tree, the juniper bird's digestion allows the juniper berries and the valuable seeds to germinate and form new trees. Thus, this Mediterranean gin is a tribute to the harmonious, natural connection between the juniper bird and the juniper tree.
