The name comes from the legend of the Nibelungs, where the hero Siegfried takes centre stage and lime blossom carries a central symbolic meaning, one the distillery has made its defining botanical.
Expert's description
Siegfried Rheinland Classic Dry Gin is a German Dry Gin distilled by Rheinland Distillers in Bonn and bottled at 41%.
The distillery was founded in 2014 by Gerald Koenen and Raphael Vollmar, two entrepreneurs with no background in spirits but a shared passion for creating something new.
The gin is built on 18 botanicals, including lime blossom, bitter orange, thyme, juniper, cardamom and angelica root, with lime blossom as the leading flavour.
Just a year after founding, the distillery was named Germany Gin Distillery of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition in 2015, and the gin has since won several international awards.
