ELG Gin

ELG Gin uses just three botanicals - juniper, coriander and carrot. Not for lack of imagination, but because a bio-organic chemist from North Zealand believes fewer ingredients give each one more room.

  • Bottle of ELG Gin No 0 Premium Danish Small Batch Gin from Denmark
    Item no.: 2222786539-8141

    ELG Gin No. 0 was the very first gin from Elg Gin, created back in 2015, and is still defined by its generous coriander seed content.

    Expert's description

    ELG Gin No 0 Premium Danish Small Batch Gin is a Danish Dry Gin, bottled at 47.2%.

    The gin is built on juniper, coriander seed and Danish carrots.

    Significantly more coriander seed is used in No. 0 than in the distillery's other ELG Gins, giving it more citrus notes than the rest of the range.

    As the distillery's first gin, No. 0 marks the beginning of Elg Gin's history as a Danish small batch distillery.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is spiced, with prominent coriander and citrus notes.

    Palate

    The palate offers distinct coriander and citrus, backed by juniper and a touch of sweetness from the Danish carrots.

    Finish

    The finish is spiced and citrus-forward.

  • Bottle of ELG Gin No 2 Old Tom from Denmark
    Item no.: 2222786539-1202

    While most gin distillers juggle a dozen botanicals or more, Henrik Elsner at Stonge Grange sticks to just three, letting each ingredient speak for itself.

    Expert's description

    ELG Gin No 2 Old Tom is a Danish Old Tom Gin distilled at Stonge Grange and bottled at 46.3%.

    The distillery was founded by Henrik Elsner in 2009 in Fredensborg and is defined by its philosophy of using very few raw materials, in sharp contrast to most mass-produced gins.

    ELG No 2 is built on the same three botanicals as ELG No 1, juniper, coriander seed and Danish carrots, where the whole carrot, including the green tops, goes into the distillation.

    What makes No 2 an Old Tom is an additional juniper extract soaked in alcohol for four weeks, added afterwards, giving the gin a natural sweetness without using sugar, honey or liquorice root.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is clean and juniper-heavy with an earthy hint of carrot.

    Palate

    The palate is gently sweet with clear juniper and an earthy carrot character.

    Finish

    The finish is long with lingering juniper sweetness.

  • Bottle of ELG Gin No 3 Navy Strength from Denmark
    Item no.: 2222786539-1269

    The same signature three botanicals as the rest of the ELG range, just turned up in intensity: No 3 is Stonge Grange's take on a Navy Strength gin, where the power is as pronounced as the minimalism.

    Expert's description

    ELG Gin No 3 Navy Strength is a Danish Dry Gin distilled at Stonge Grange and bottled at 57.2%.

    Like ELG No 1 and No 2, No 3 is built exclusively on juniper, coriander seed and Danish carrots, with the whole carrot, including the green tops, going into the distillation.

    The Navy Strength designation historically comes from the British Navy, where gin was bottled at a strength that ensured gunpowder would still ignite even if it was spilled with gin.

    The high alcohol strength brings out the three botanicals even more clearly than in the milder expressions, giving a more intense, concentrated take on Stonge Grange's minimalist philosophy.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is intense and juniper-heavy with an earthy hint of carrot.

    Palate

    The palate is powerful and focused with clear juniper and coriander seed.

    Finish

    Expert's description

    ELG Gin No 4 is a Danish Pink Gin distilled at Stonge Grange and bottled at 46.5%.

    The gin is made by extracting purple carrots in alcohol for one week, after which the extract is added to ELG No 1, the recipe of juniper, coriander seed and Danish carrots.

    The purple carrots give the gin its distinctive pink hue entirely naturally, without any artificial colouring or added sweeteners.

    Like the rest of the ELG range, No 4 holds firmly to the distillery's minimalist philosophy, letting a few carefully chosen ingredients speak for themselves.

    Tasting notes

About ELG Gin

ELG Gin is distilled at Stengården by Lake Esrum near Fredensborg, at one of Denmark's oldest distilleries in its current form. For newcomers, ELG is a surprisingly simple gin that insists three botanicals are enough when the quality is high. For collectors, the interest lies in the background: the distiller is a trained bio-organic chemist, and the scientific approach to distillation has made ELG Spirits one of Denmark's most award-winning spirits houses year after year.

History & background

The distillery was founded in 2009 by Henrik Elsner and his wife Lona Christrup as a family business that grew out of Henrik's passion for winemaking and experiments with distillation. The name ELG - the Danish word for moose - nods to Nordic nature and wildlife, and suits a bottle that insists on simplicity over decoration.

Production & style

The gin is distilled with juniper, coriander seed and carrot as its only three botanicals, a deliberately minimalist approach that gives each ingredient room to stand out clearly in the flavour.

Signature style

Fresh, Spicy, Clean
The flavour offers a fresh, spicy character of juniper and coriander, with a light sweetness from carrot and a clean, dry finish.

Did you know?

Every ELG Spirits gin expression is built on exactly the same three botanicals - juniper, coriander and carrot - making the differences between the numbers in the range an exercise in distilling technique rather than spice selection.
