Spirit of Hven Organic Gin (75cl, 40%)

An organic gin from the island of Hven in the Öresund strait, Sweden, at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It is the flagship expression from the island distillery, founded in 2008 by Anja and Henric Molin. The base is an organic wheat vodka that first matures in oak, then spends 24 hours with fresh organic botanicals before copper pot distillation. It is certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and biodynamic, bottled on site with no chill filtration. Botanicals include Swedish juniper, citrus, grains of paradise, cardamom, calamus root, cassia bark, Mauritian bourbon vanilla, Sichuan pepper, aniseed and guinea pepper. It shows delicate citrus, juniper and grains of paradise, background vanilla and spice, smooth cassia bark and bourbon vanilla, and a long smooth aftertaste with licorice and cut hay.
