We spent more than two years. Travelling the northern hemisphere for inspiration. Collecting slow-growing herbs, perma-frozen roots and wind-tormented plants. Creating hundreds of blends, tested in thousands of gin tonics and dry martinis. Eventually, we ended up with eight finalists. This one, No. 6, was the winner. An artisanal, small-batch, London dry gin. Distilled using unfiltered mountain spring water and natural ingredients. Classic, but with a Scandinavian twist, from Juniper, Pine, Heather and Old-mans Beard Lichen.

Åre Bränneri No6 Scandinavian Gin

Inspired by the mighty mountains, the raging storms and the wild waters surrounding us, this is our take on a Navy Strength gin. At 57,2% alcohol — featuring heavy notes of Juniper supported by Pine, Spruce, Citrus and Fennel — this is possibly one of the most intense and flavourful gins in the world. Distilled using unfiltered mountain spring water and 100% organic ingredients.

Åre Bränneri Mountain Strength Scandinavian Gin

We spent years, travelling the northern hemisphere for inspiration. Collecting slow-growing herbs, perma-frozen roots and wind-tormented plants. But dark are the days of wintertide, so we wanted to create something uplifting. A classic London dry gin, infused with the familiar scents and wonderful aromas of a Scandinavian winter feast — cinnamon, cardamom, oranges, cloves and rowan-berries.

Åre Bränneri Winter Scandinavian Gin

Knowing that mountain people are hard to please, we needed something special for the eclectic locals in our home town Åre. So we took our No6 recipe, tasting of Juniper, Pine and Heather, and added generous amounts of Old-mans Beard Lichen and Birch Bark for a slightly more distinct character. A limited edition London dry gin, inspired by the fjells, forests and people of western Jämtland.

Åre Bränneri Local's Edition Scandinavian Gin

Life in the north is diverse. After a long, dark, and extremely cold winter — days grow longer, and life spurs. For those endless summer nights, when the sun never sets, and the song of the Black-throated Loon echoes, we created something different. Again, we took inspiration from the forests. Rosé Gin is a traditional-ish gin but with a distinct Jämtlandish quirkiness, distilled using unfiltered mountain spring water and infused with Scandinavian curiosities like Alpine Strawberry, Heather, and the elusive Arctic Bramble.

Why gin (in general)?
Growing up on Gotland (Sweden) I was surrounded by wild juniper and other herbs, perfect for making gin! 

Why gin in the shape and form that you’ve made it?
I wanted to capture the taste of Gotland. During a few weeks in the summer I pick wild juniper, elderflower, meadowsweet and roses to flavour Hellström Gin with.  

How would you like people to drink Hellströms gin; i.e the ”perfect serve”?
I recommend a Gin & Tonic with Hellström Gin, Fevertree Indian tonic or Three Cents original, serive it over ice with a slice of apple and a sprig of thyme. It also works great neat or in a Dry Martini. 

The first gin from Gotland 
Every bottle of Hellström gin is handcrafted in small batches. The distillery is located in an old dairy factory in Hablingbo on the island of Gotland. 
Elisabeth Hellström is the youngest master distiller in the world. The journey started in 2015 when her family’s hotel Fabriken Furillen made a gin in collaboration with Hernö Gin. This grew her interest in gin and the art of distilling. In 2019 she founded Hellström Gin with a vision to create outstanding spirits with a taste of Swedish wilderness.

Mountain Dry Gin is inspired by the pure air and crispy climate of the mountains in Northern of Sweden. ND Mountain Dry Gin is a unique blend of eleven botanicals. Beside classic gin botanicals we use leafs of birch picked during the late spring when it's young, sticky and fresh. Mountain angelica, which grows all over Northern of Sweden and has been used in traditional Sami medicine for thousands of years. To create the fusion of extremes we combine this with timut pepper, from the mountains of Himalaya. The result is a delightfully smooth gin with a distinctively crisp finish that makes for a refreshing G&T.

Forest Dry Gin is inspired by the scents and atmosphere of the deep taiga forests in Northern of Sweden. ND Forest Dry Gin is a unique blend of twelve botanicals. Beside classic gin botanicals we use shots of pine and spruce, picked during late spring when it's still small and packed with subtle flavors. To create the fusion of extremes we combine this with cloves from the forgotten Comoro archipelago. The result is a smooth gin with a certain bite to it and lots of taste notes to discover. It will shine when enjoyed neat but also makes for a perfect ingredient in a Negroni and other cocktails.

All Stockholms Bränneri gins have been handcrafted on Södermalm in Stockholm. The dry gin is a Nordic take on a traditional dry gin that has got its characteristics from 7 organic botanicals - juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, lemon peel, heather, elderflower and rosemary. The blend gives the gin a delicate flowery taste parallel to the classic juniper and citrus notes. This makes it perfect for the classic gin cocktails, but also ideal to purely enjoy neat or in a Dry Martini.

Gunroom Navy Gin wird in einem Kupfertopf noch nach dem London Dry Gin Principals destilliert und dann in Ex-Whisky-Fässern für 45-60 Tage gereift. Dieser Prozess verleiht dem Gin eine unverwechselbare Weichheit, runder Abgang und süße Vanille.
Hinweise auf die Eiche, die gut mit der Orangenschale und den Gewürzen in der Zusammensetzung spielt. Dieses Fass Reifung war ein natürlicher Prozess für jeden Gin während des 19. Jahrhundert, Glasflaschen noch war ein Luxus, zerbrechlich und nicht geeignet für die lange Reise von Großbritannien nach Indien. Daher ist der Gin in Fässer gelagert worden um die ganze Welt zu bereisen. Das Fass gab dem Geist einen verbesserten Charakter, ein Brauch das fast vergessen wurde.
