Helsinki Dry Gin 50 cl 47%

For over a hundred years, Helsinki had no distillery of its own, until Séamus Holohan, Kai Kilpinen and Mikko Mykkänen opened the doors to one in the city's culinary quarter of Teurastamo in 2014.

Expert's description

Helsinki Dry Gin is a Finnish gin distilled by The Helsinki Distilling Company and bottled at 47%.

Nine carefully chosen botanicals go into the recipe, including Finnish lingonberries, Balkan juniper, Seville orange and lemon peel, fennel and coriander seed, orris root, angelica root and rose petals.

All raw materials come from the area around Helsinki and are handled by hand throughout the process, from harvesting the botanicals to bottling.

The gin won gold medals in both 2016 and 2017, as well as the prestigious Spirit of the Year award at Destille Berlin in 2016.
