Enastående

Gin description

ENASTÅENDE - Magnificent Full of character and aromatic, nicely spicy. There is a subtle nuance of summery bloom hiding beneath the juniper seasoning. One can perceive the fruitiness of the sea buckthorn and a soft tone of elderberry bloom Our aim has been to create one of the world’s finest and most tasty gin series, with distinctive character without departing from the genuine gin character. There are initially three products that together form an entirety loaded with craft exclusivity and tasteful elegance. The GIN-trilogy combines quality, originality and innovation. They can be enjoyed in simplicity as a series of Sipping Gins, but also works splendidly with a fine quality tonic. The potential of the aroma is different for various plants. It is important to find the right balance between the aromas so that they all reach their full potential. It is a challenge, and you have to make a lot of attempts to get there. I use my nose and my intuition that I have gathered from many years of practice. The GIN-trilogy is powerful and for it I have chosen plants from Swedish nature, strengthened by spices that all have been of great inspiration through the work.

The names carry our history The Swedish names for the three pieces of our GIN-trilogy are reminders of our history, origin and the production process where the wild Swedish nature gets its indigenous place. ENASTÅENDE (Magnificent), STJÄRNKLAR (Starry) and SUPERMÅNE (Supermoon) get the inspiration from experiences from around our rivers, deep forests and blue mountains. That is where founder Steven Kautzky Andersson and co-owner Catherine Engelbrekt gathered elements and ingredients for the different products. During the magnificent starry evening on March 9 2020 when the Supermoon shone brightly against the black sky we put parts of our ingredients in glass bottles that we placed in the water source on the mountain near Tevsjö. They laid there in the light of the Supermoon and were then carried down to the distillery to become part of the spirits now launched by the names ENASTÅENDE (Magnificent), STJÄRNKLAR (Starry) and SUPERMÅNE (Supermoon).

The distinctive gin spice matches perfect in the finished drink, regarding both fragrance and taste, something not all new gins are capable of. For a classic Dry Martini the Magnificent is perfect with its fruitiness and slightly smoother taste – but mix it with a very dry vermouth, for example Noilly Prat.
