An Island Distillery's Flagship
Before the navy-strength sibling, there was this: the flagship organic gin from the island of Hven, a small dot in the Öresund strait between Sweden and Denmark. The base is an organic wheat-vodka spirit that first matures in oak for depth, then spends 24 hours with fresh organic botanicals — Swedish juniper, citrus, grains of paradise, cardamom, calamus root, cassia bark, Mauritian bourbon vanilla, Sichuan pepper, aniseed and guinea pepper — before copper pot distillation. Wine Enthusiast gave it 92 points in 2021; the Gin Masters took Silver in 2016. A gin for drinkers who want botanical complexity without the proof.

Tasting Notes
Delicate citrus, juniper and grains of paradise; background vanilla and spice; smooth cassia bark and bourbon vanilla; long smooth aftertaste with licorice and cut hay.
How to Enjoy
A classic G&T gin — the vanilla and citrus love a good tonic. Equally at home in a Martini or a French 75.
