Knut Hansen Dry Gin

The Hamburg Distilling Company where Knut Hansen Gin is established is a distillery that focuses mainly on sustainable development and regionalism. The owners attach great importance to high-quality raw materials without flavor enhancers, dyes or preservatives, and most of the botanical ingredients come from the region of northern Germany. Green electricity is used for the complicated process of alcohol production. The stoppers are made of natural Portuguese cork and the ceramic bottles are fully recyclable.

Knut Hansen Gin, launched in 2017 by friends Kaspar Kagedorn and Martin Spik - was inspired and named after the legendary German sailor and explorer Knut Hansen, who came from Hamburg, whose image is depicted on a ceramic bottle. Four times distilled with extremely slow energy consumption, gin is characterized by refined notes of cucumber, basil and citrus, as well as the company of juniper and fresh apples. The production uses, among others, apples from farms located south of the Elbe, basil and cucumbers harvested from the family greenhouse and rose petals from the dyke by the Baltic Sea.

After opening the bottle, we will feel the bold aromas of juniper, a herbal note and the sweetness of an apple. On the palate we will feel a dominant, but at the same time subtle, sweet and fruity flavor spiced with notes of juniper and herbs. The finish is long-lasting with subtle sweetness, juniper, apple and licorice.
