Bar know-how
Three bar professionals from internationally renowned establishments in Zurich were involved in the development of Gin 27. Peter Roth and Christian Heiss work at the Kronenhalle Bar and Markus Blattner at the Widder Hotel. They supported the “Fine Tuning” and gave suggestions, which were taken up by the Appenzell distillers. Together they allowed it to grow into what it is today. A gin with an unmistakable character.
Botanicals & production
GIN 27 is characterized by its carefully selected botanicals, which give it its unique taste.
The most important ingredients include:
- Juniper berries: The basis of every classic gin, known for their aromatic and slightly resinous notes.
- Lemon peel: These bring a fresh, citrusy lightness to the gin.
- Coriander seeds: Give the gin a spicy, slightly sweet note.
- Angelica root: Provides depth and earthy nuances.
- Lavender: A special ingredient that gives GIN 27 its floral and slightly sweet tones.
- Hay flowers: A unique botanical that underlines the connection to the gin’s Alpine homeland and provides a subtly earthy aroma.
GIN 27 is produced in small batches to ensure its high quality and distinctive character. Every step of the distillation process is carried out with the utmost care and attention to detail to ensure that only the best makes it into the bottle. The use of pure spring water from the Appenzell mountains also contributes to the purity and clarity of this premium gin.
