No less than 74! (yes, seventy-four) herbs and essences, the so-called botanicals from 19 different countries from the Alpine region, the Mediterranean to Madagascar and India, give the BLACK GIN its individual fine note and its absolute unique position.
The gin is based on a foundation of fresh wheat. The resulting, crystal clear, base spirit is then aromatized with 74 botanicals in order to give it its astonishing and exciting flavour profile. While 62 of them are macerated for 12 days straight at a constant temperature of minus 24 degrees Celsius, the remaining 12 are added right before the actual distillation itself. After the spirit has been mixed with spring water, it is stored in barrels made of stainless steel and bottled by hand before being released to the public.

Our malt is crafted slowly and is matured at the distillery in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors. We're proud of our heritage and have used traditional methods since we rolled our first barrels back in 1790. And yet we're not afraid to tinker with tradition if it serves to improve our product. Our single malt is the perfect mix of nature and nurture and we believe in quality above all else.
