Distillery Als Gin

Destilleriet Als is the small distillery in southern Denmark that brews its Kalas Gin in small batches on the island of Als. Here it's all about local ingredients and a close relationship between distiller and bottle, far removed from the volumes of the big gin factories. This is Danish island gin where you can still put a name to the hands behind the bottle.

  • Bottle of Kalas Gin from Destilleriet Als Denmark
    Item no.: 2222786539-11333

    Kalas is an old Danish word for a grand and lavish celebration, a name chosen with care for the distillery's very first product.

    Expert's description

    Kalas Gin is a Danish gin distilled by Destilleriet Als and bottled at 44%.

    The gin is built around five botanicals, four of which are the classic gin botanicals, while the fifth, chamomile, is a more unconventional choice for the category.

    The distillery works according to a philosophy of using only raw materials from geographic regions with a long tradition of producing that particular ingredient at high quality.

    Kalas Gin was Destilleriet Als's first product and won silver in the Classic Gin category at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2019.

About Destilleriet Als

Destilleriet Als is a Danish distillery from the island of Als, making gin with a local starting point.

History & Background

Destilleriet Als is a small micro-distillery on the Danish island of Als, part of the wave of Danish craft distilleries that has sprung up since the 2010s. The distillery makes its Kalas Gin in small, manageable batches built around local, southern Jutland botanicals, an approach that favours closeness between distiller and customer over scale. The name 'Kalas' and the distillery's local roots underline its identity as part of the region's food and drink culture rather than an internationally focused export brand. Detailed information about the founding year and founder is scarce in public sources.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and a chosen composition of local, southern Jutland botanicals.

Signature Style

Fresh, Herbal, Earthy
The taste offers a fresh, earthy character with herbal undertones.
