Hernö Juniper Cask Gin 50cl
Hernö Juniper Cask Gin Hernö is the first dedicated gin distillery in Sweden, and is located in Dala on the high coast of Sweden. They only produce organic, artisanal gins, which are inspired by the natural beauty of Sweden. Their Juniper Cask Gin is the first in the world to be matured on juniper wood casks. Using the same distilled gin as their signature Hernö Gin, they dilute it to 47% ABV. This is then matured for 30 days in juniper wood casks. This time in the casks maturing gives an intense juniper note which is finished with a long and harmonious hint of citrus peel. On the nose this gin really gives across a fresh woodiness, with pine from juniper. Behind this ligers soft citrus blossom. In the mouth it has a thick texture, which coats the mouth leaving it a little dry. A heavy juniper flavour, and herbal pepper entice the tongue before giving way to a mild vanilla sweetness. The finish brings a littler citrus and floral notes from coriander. The finish is long with juniper dominating.

This realy needs a neutral tonic such as Three Cents Tonic water to ensure the nuances of this gin can be enjoyed. Pour 50ml into a glass filled with ice and top up with 150ml of the tonic. Stir gently and harnish with a slice of orange.
