The production of gin in the Black Forest, southern Germany has a long tradition. Our Gin dates back to 1799 and our Master Distiller takes care to keep the original recipe alive by using single-batch distillation methods to ensure the purest quality in every batch. The spiciness of the Black Forest air along with the inclusion of local, hand-picked botanicals such as spruce needles, not only give our product its distinct aroma and taste, but also its name. Taste: Strong aromas of spruce needles followed by a clear note of juniper berries and light hints of citrus fruits and an additional spicy note from the ginger. Long, dry, and spicy finish
