ETSU GIN PACIFIC OCEAN WATER

Hastings 1066 Gin (70cl, 40%). From Haswell & Hastings in Sussex. Above all, inspired by the sea. Firstly, a perfect blend of Coriander, Juniper, Angelica, Savory and Grains of Paradise. Also, sweet Lemon and Orange Citrus, Liquorice root, and tangy Gooseberry.
A distinct taste of sweet berries, that are soft and delicate to create a gin that has a truly balanced essence keeping tones of Juniper, Coriander and Angelica root as the traditional mainstay of botanicals.
Named after a certain battle!

Haswell Gin was created to prove decidedly fresh, fragrant and citric. Eclectic and versatile, it stands at high quality levels. All the botanicals are carefully selected and come from all over the world: coriander seeds from Morocco, citrus fruits from Spain, “grains of paradise” from Africa and liquorice from China.

Organic sloeberries from southern Europe picked after the first frost and dried before soaked in Hernö Gin for four months is the secret behind Hernö Sloe Gin. A smooth, sweet sloe gin with balanced tartness is the result.
– The characteristic color that unfolds in the spirit is absolutely amazing. 

Japanese gin (Etsu means “pleasure”), elaborated following an ancient Asian recipe that uses botanicals from the Japanese islands including Yuzu, which predominates in the olfactory analysis: it is a small Japanese citrus fruit, very fragrant and persistent. On the nose, floral and citrus notes, with persistent yuzu; in the mouth it is fresh, well balanced, with hints of peppers, tea and green berries.

The City of London Distillery situated in the heart of the City of London. This fantastic gin is made from a citrus forward selection of botanicals including: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, liquorice root and fresh oranges, lemons and pink grapefruit. Now bottled at 41.3% and newly packaged in bottles inspired by St Paul’s Cathedral.

Hernö Old Tom Gin is made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Gin, but with an extra amount of Meadowsweet added in the distillation and after diluting it down to 43% we add a touch of sugar. The sweetening lifts the floral notes, releases an array of juniper and makes the gin even smoother.

Hernö Old Tom Gin is made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Gin, but tweaked the recipe and upped the dose of meadowsweet while also adding honey after distillation. The sweetness is apparent on the nose but comes to the fore when tasted. The soft mouthfeel and added honey is evident but also accentuates some of the distillery’s core floral characteristics. Meadowsweet and the lingon berries come though a little stronger than in the usual London Dry (to be expected, as one is increased in the recipe and the other responds well to sweetness) and the overall effect is a complex and intriguing Old Tom Gin.

Hernö Old Tom Gin is awarded as best world gin of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and is the most awarded gin of Hernö distillery.
