A top quality, handcrafted gin from the Swedish island of Hven, situated in the Öresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden. It is an organic wheat gin that is both pot distilled and oak matured with botanicals such as juniper, grains of paradise, citrus, Sichuan pepper, aniseed, and guinea pepper. The oak maturation gives this an oily and smooth mouthfeel lending itself well for everything from cocktails to cooking.
In fact, Spirit of Hven Organic Gin is the only gin served at Copenhagen's Noma, the Best Restaurant in the World (Restaurant Magazine 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2014).
Elegant with fresh citrus in balance with vanilla and gentle juniper.
There's a depth of flavour here and a quality that's clearly evident. Warming Sichuan pepper and anise aren't overpowering.
Citrusy, oily, long and smooth aftertaste.
A little slice of heaven on earth.
Think this my favourite gin next to Monkey 47, an unusual flavour but I didn't think it tasted of whisky particularly. ..
I was really looking forward to trying this gin, but unfortunately it's just not to my taste. While some of the botanicals really came through, for me it was the strong Whiskey/Barrel aged type taste that dominated, and as someone who's not a whiskey fan, it made it undrinkable. I have a couple of friends who are big whiskey drinkers and they loved it, so it's purely a personal taste thing.
This is a wonderfully smooth gin, unusual in its flavours but distinctive. For me its the hints of aniseed that top it off. Loved this gin just to sip minus any tonic.
Always interested in trying different gins, this one hits the spot.
bought this for my daughters birthday, she loved the warm taste of it, will be trying the vodka soon.
