Method
The distillation takes place in traditional copper distills and is made according to the ‘London Dry Gin’ method, where only water is added after distillation to hit the right alcohol percentage and taste. We have chosen a method where junipers are mortared and rest in the alcohol before distillation. We run ‘small batch’ with about 45-60 bottles per production and with numbered bottles. Sønderborg Gin is 44%, as we believe this gives the right combination in terms of taste and expression.
Taste
The taste goes in the traditional direction with the use of classic botanicals such as coriander, cardamom, lemon, angelica and cinnamon. Like our other gin, this one is also 100% organic.
Appearance
The bottle is of heavy quality and the appearance is chosen as it fits well in the hand. The black cork compliments the black text and logo on the labels. The front page label is adorned with a hand drawing of the well known Christian X Bridge which connects Sønderborg, made by the Danish artist Georg Persson. Georg has made hand drawings of several well-known buildings in Sønderborg. The labels are made of thick cotton paper of good quality.
Suggested serving
We recommend a Gin & Tonic with 1 part Sønderborg Gin and 3-4 parts an Organice tonic from Aqua Monaco. Find both products in our webshop. The procedure is to first put lots of ice in a glass. Then pour 1 part Sønderborg Gin followed by 3-4 parts of tonic. A slice of lemon can be used as a garnish and as a last step, stir a few times with a spoon to mix the drink. Bon appetite!
