Kalevala Gin

Named after the Kalevala, Finland's national epic of creation, heroes and magic. This Finnish gin carries the country's literary soul into the glass, spiced with forest berries and Nordic herbs from the very woods the epic unfolds in.

  • Bottle of Kalevala Organic Small Batch Gin from Finland
    Kalevala Organic Small Batch Gin Finland 50 cl 46,3%
    Item no.: 2222786539-1227

    In North Karelia, a region in eastern Finland known for moonshining in the 1930s, a small family business now runs a distillery named after Kalevala, the Finnish national epic.

    Expert's description

    Kalevala Organic Small Batch Gin is a Finnish organic gin distilled by Kalevala Distillery and bottled at 46.3%.

    The distillery is a small family business where every part of production is handled in-house in small batches, and Kalevala is the only certified organic spirit produced in Finland.

    Even the water used in distillation comes from the distillery's own well, underlining the handcrafted, down-to-earth approach.

    Wheat brandy rests for 24 hours with juniper, after which raspberry leaves, mint, rosebuds, rosemary and other botanicals are placed in the upper part of the still, so the alcohol vapours are enriched with the aromas of Finnish nature.

    Tasting notes

    The nose is clean and juniper-focused with a hint of mint.

    Palate

    The palate is clear and focused with juniper, backed by rosemary and raspberry leaves.

About Kalevala

Kalevala is a Finnish gin named after the Finnish national epic of the same name. For newcomers it's a fresh, berry-driven gin with clear Nordic notes; for collectors it's notable that the brand deliberately ties its identity to the Kalevala epic, one of the most central works in Finnish cultural heritage, making every bottle as much a story about national identity as about flavour.

History & Background

The Kalevala epic, compiled and published by Elias Lönnrot in 1835 from oral Finnish and Karelian folk poetry, is regarded as a cornerstone of Finnish national identity and played a central role in the country's path to independence. When the distillers behind Kalevala Gin came to name their creation, they deliberately chose this name to connect the gin to the country's deepest cultural heritage rather than just another geographic or botanical name. The gin's botanicals, including forest berries and Nordic herbs, were chosen to reflect the forests and nature in which the epic's stories unfold. The result is a distillery attempting to distil not just flavour, but national history.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and Finnish botanicals, often including forest berries and Nordic herbs.

Signature Style

Fresh, Berry, Herbal
The taste offers a fresh, berry-driven character with herbal undertones.
