Kongsgaard Gin

Deep in the dark woods surrounding the ancient town of Roskilde, a majestic building of oak once stood tall and strong. It was from this seat in the great hall of Kongsgaard, the legendary Vikings ruled and sagas of the kingdom of Denmark began.

Today, staying true to traditions of our ancestors, we craft our gin by hand, distilling in small batches.

At the centerpiece of our layers of flavor are Danish apples.

Among the world’s best, famous for the good taste they achieve due to the climatic conditions. The long warm days in ripening season, are replaced by cool and clear summer nights. Giving the characteristic succulence and well balanced mixture of sweetness and acidity.

We source our apples from small local fruit orchards, situated on little islands in the southern archipelago of Denmark.

The climate here ensures apples with a lot of taste according to a slow growing process and many hours of daylight. Furthermore the terroir here is exceptional; clay soil, many hours of sunshine, wind and salt coming from the sea.

Kongsgaard Dark Gin from France 35 cl 44,5% This version is aged in used cognac barrels. Kongsgaard With a full 18 months in French cognac casks, Dark Gin is transformed into an intense, creamy and dark barrel-aged gin with a strong barrel character, sweet vanilla and enormous complexity. Inspired by the Nordic forests. Danish apples, liquorice root and smoked oak are among the 11 carefully selected botanicals that are added to a base of extremely soft wheat spirit and blended with spring water from the Grand Champagne region. The use of local Danish apple varieties, which change from batch to batch, reflects and preserves the characteristic and well-balanced blend of sweetness and acidity that they get from the colder climate. "We have composed our gin based on the idea of going from root to fruit. From coriander seeds and licorice root at the bottom to a stem consisting of smoked oak and cinnamon, all the way up to the fruit, where we have fresh lemons and not least the Danish apples, which will change variety from batch to batch," Søren explains Kongsgaard.
