Handcrafted on Södermalm in Stockholm, Stockholms Bränneri Dry Gin is a Nordic take on a traditional dry gin using seven organic botanicals - juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, lemon peel, heather, elderflower and rosemary. The result is a crisp, fresh gin that works wonders in a Dry Martini.
Floral elderflower notes alongside strong juniper and citrus.
I first tried this on holiday in Stockholm and loved it from the first mouthful. It was served with a large quantity of ice and a sprig of thyme - unusual but delicious. Sharp with a slight herbal backnote, goes well with Indian tonic (I prefer Fevertree), and a slice of lemon (which enhances the thyme). Always takes me back to that afternoon sitting opposite the Royal Palace in Stockholm, watching the waterbuses.
I purchased this Gin in Stockholm after trying it in a local bar. The best gin I've ever tried. Highly recommended but keep it away from your mates.
This is a wonderful, delicate gin, with subtle hints of elderflower. Well worth taking your time over :)
