Whitley Neill Handcrafted Dry Gin, 0,7 L, 43%

Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin, 0.7l, 40% Lier - a small region in Norway located west of Oslo. Numerous rare, wild plants and flowers grow and thrive here, which is why Lier is known as the green lung between Oslo and Drammen. Due to the fertile and nutrient-rich soil, numerous farms have settled in and around Lier, growing a wide variety of agricultural products. One of these farms is the Kimerud Farm, founded in 1785, which is still family-run to this day. In 2007, the decision was finally made to build a distillery on the farm, as it was noticed that a large proportion of the raw materials needed to make spirits were grown or could easily be grown on site. This is how the idea for Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin was born, which was to be a strong, very straightforward and distinctive gin. The gin is based on potatoes and 22 different herbs, spices and fruits - the so-called botanicals. In addition to classic botanicals such as juniper, coriander, orange and lemon peel, other ingredients used include ginger, angelica root, walnut and, perhaps the most exotic ingredient, roseroot. Roseroot (Rhodiola rosea) belongs to the Crassulaceae family and has been used as an alternative medicine for centuries. The extract made from its roots is said to improve memory, ability to absorb information and concentration. Roseroot is also said to have a potency-enhancing effect. Whatever the case, the roseroot definitely gives the Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin a unique flavor. The taste of the Kimerud Norway Craft Distilled Gin can best be described as the perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness and the taste of the botanicals used. A very straightforward gin, which has a certain power due to the alcohol strength of 40% vol. Ideal as a gin and tonic, Martini dry cocktail or neat on ice with an orange peel. Awarded several times, for example as one of the best gins at a large gin tasting by the renowned "The Belgian Gin Club"!
