Gin description
Until the early 60´s Hans remained atop the German chart of popular first names. Since 1960 the popularity has declined, however, and this is the good news, Hans is back! Not only as a boy´s name, but also with the adjunct “Lucky” as the name labeling our Gin. True to the traditional roots of the name, Lucky Hans Bavarian Gin is produced using herbs, fruits and berries, which all call Germany home. You will not find any exotic botanicals on the list of ingredients, (I.e., lemon, tonka bean, vanilla etc.). Instead we make use of local fruits such as apple and pears as well as a very special native berry: The rowan berry. Maybe you are thinking, “Wait a minute! That´s poisonous!” but have no fear. This is untrue. The rowan berry should not be eaten raw as they contain parasorbic acid, which can cause an upset stomach, however, as distillate this berry is completely safe and a genuine indulgence. For this reason, Bavarians have used the rowan berry for centuries to create highly seductive spirits. This not only makes Hans happy, but also qualifies it as the perfect ingredient for our Lucky Hans Bavarian Gin.
