Juniper Cask is the first gin in the world to mature in juniper wood casks. This is the peculiarity of yet another excellent distillate by the Swedish Hernö of Jon Hilgren. On the palate the scent of juniper is strong, accompanied by aromas of herbs and black pepper, which on the long and persistent finish are accompanied by floral and citrus notes.
The Swedish Hernö distillery was founded by bartender Jon Hillgren after a long work experience in London, and a particular passion for gin. It’s no coincidence that the small artisan distillery is located near the town of Härnösand in an area of Sweden called ‘Höga kusten’ a World Heritage Site for UNESCO for its natural beauty among islands, lakes and hills of rare beauty. Hence the inspiration to produce a good gin with the best from genuine certified organic products from all over the world such as juniper berries from Hungary, coriander seeds from Bulgaria, Indonesian cassia, black pepper from India, Swedish cranberries, to name just a few. The result of so much care are the most awarded gins of Europe referring to the category and for lovers of drinking.
The Juniper Cask differs from the other labels of the Swedish artisan distillery for the maturation process of the same common base of Hernö Gin in juniper wood casks for 30 days. This maturity gives the bottle an intense flavor of juniper in the initial attack, and an harmonious hint of citrus peel on the finish. A unique and fresh gin that after the first sip is hardly forgotten.
