JJ WHITLEY LONDON DRY GIN

Etsu Double Orange Gin is distilled at the Akita Distillery, in the Akita prefecture of Japan on the island of Honshu. Akita Prefecture is located on the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan and extends east to the Ōu Mountains, the longest mountain range in Japan. It is from these mountains that Etsu Double Orange draws its fresh, fruity and light aromas.

Caorunn is expertly handcrafted by Gin Master Simon Buley at Balmenach Distillery in the Scottish Highlands. Harnessing Scotland’s unique natural resources, Caorunn is infused to perfection in small batches, 1,000 litres at a time, in the world’s only working Copper Berry Chamber.
The highest quality pure grain spirit and crystal clear Scottish water are married with 6 traditional and 5, Celtic, handpicked botanicals from the surrounding hills (Rowan Berries, Coul Blush Apple, Heather, Dandelion, Bog Myrtle). Caorunn {pronounced ‘ka-roon’} from the Gaelic for ‘Rowan Berry’- is a quadruple distilled modern London Dry Gin.
Caorunn is dry and crisp, aromatic with floral, fruity notes. The taste is clean, sweet and full-bodied, with a fresh and long-lasting finish – perfectly served with fresh red apple slices.

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.
