Hernö Gin distillery

Hernö Gin is a well-known brand from Sweden. It started in 2011 by Jon Hillgren, inspired by his time in London's gin bars. Hernö is distilled in Dala, near Härnösand in Ångermanland. It combines Swedish purity and craftsmanship. Hernö Gin has quickly become one of Europe's most awarded gins.

Craftsmanship and Distillation Process

Hernö Gin uses time-honoured distillation and organic ingredients. It uses the finest botanicals like juniper berries and fresh lemon peel, all certified organic. This ensures quality and shows Hernö’s commitment to sustainability. Hernö's copper still, named Kierstin, is key to the gin’s character. It allows slow distillation, preserving the botanicals' flavours. The distillery's careful monitoring has earned it the ‘World’s Best Gin’ title at the World Gin Awards.

Award-Winning Heritage

Hernö has won multiple ‘World’s Best Gin’ awards and gold medals internationally. These awards show its dedication to quality and flavour.

Sustainability and Community

Hernö focuses on sustainability. It uses local energy, reduces waste, and practices organic farming. It also builds a community, working with other distilleries and being transparent in its practices.

Tasting Notes and Consumption

It can be drunk neat, with ice, or in a gin and tonic or cocktail. Each gin can be enjoyed in different drinks, like a simple gin and tonic or a more complex cocktail.

Global Reach and Local Heart

The Gin is true to its Swedish roots despite its global fame. Its motto is “Swedish Excellence. Distilled with passion.” This shows its local heart and global reach. Hernö aims to make the world's finest organic gin with Scandinavian flair.
