Geranium 55° Premium London Dry Gin, 55%

Introduction

Geranium 55° Premium London Dry Gin is the brainchild of Danish bartender Henrik Hammer, who pioneered the use of geranium as a botanical in gin production, creating a spirit that honors traditional London Dry methods while introducing a uniquely Nordic character.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium neutral grain spirit forms the base, with handpicked botanicals including juniper berries, coriander seeds, cassia bark, angelica root, and the signature ingredient – geranium leaves (Geranium Robertianum) harvested in Denmark
• Distillation process: Traditional copper pot still distillation following the London Dry method, where all botanicals are steeped and distilled together with the base spirit
• Maturation: No aging required as per London Dry specifications, bottled immediately after distillation to preserve the botanical freshness
• Special techniques: Precise vapor infusion that allows the delicate geranium botanicals to release their essential oils without becoming bitter or overpowering

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright juniper forward with crisp citrus notes, followed by elegant floral geranium and subtle earthy undertones. The high proof delivers aromatics with exceptional clarity
• Palate: Remarkably smooth entry despite the 55% ABV, with bold juniper and citrus giving way to distinctive floral notes of geranium, balanced spice from coriander, and a hint of sweet licorice. Clean and precise with exceptional depth
• Finish: Long, warming and surprisingly smooth with lingering notes of geranium, juniper and delicate spice. The high alcohol content provides backbone without harshness

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Well chilled or over ice
• Glass recommendation: Balloon gin glass or copa to enhance the aromatic experience
• Serving ideas: Exceptional in a G&T with premium tonic water and a grapefruit twist. Due to its high strength, use a slightly lower gin-to-tonic ratio than standard gins
• Food pairings: Pairs wonderfully with seafood, particularly oysters and smoked salmon. Also complements Nordic cuisine featuring dill, aquavit spices, and citrus elements

Product Specifications

• Alcohol content: 55% ABV
• Bottle size: 70cl
• Country/Region of origin: Denmark
• Certifications/Awards: Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition
