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.
We have to remember than not all gins are created equal and therefore don't all taste the same. Thank goodness of course. They can be coriander led, citrussy or vegetal. I prefer citrus notes to the fore for a G+T of course. This unusual gin is very distinctive for its unusual choice of ingredients and it's special tangy peppery aniseed (gentle) twist. Strongly recommended.
This is a lovely clean bright gin with juniper aniseed and pepper notes which are beautifully crafted and blended enhanced most unusually by barrel ageing. Warmly and strongly recommended.
