Founded in 2011, Hernö Gin has gone on to become one of the most revered gin brands in the world, decorated with countless awards across its range. Situated in he High Coast of Sweden, on the east side of the country, sits a remote 19th century farm-turned-distillery. The hand hammered copper stills Kierstin and Marit craft award-winning organic gin from natural botanicals. According to the legend, when a penny was placed in the cats mouth the gin was served by the bar tender in the pub through a tube hidden in one of the paws! They’ve also dabbled in successful collaborations with Australian distillery Four Pillars, releasing Dry Island and Botany Bay.

Within a few short years a range of awards had been bestowed on Hernö – including best gin for Hernö Old Tom at the World Gin Awards in 2017 and 2018. This is Sweden's first dedicated Gin distillery which is made in two hand-beaten copper stills, Kerstin and Marit. They use the same botanical selection as their Hernö Dry Gin for this, although they've dialled up the amount of meadowsweet used.

According to the legend, when a penny was placed in the cats mouth the gin was served by the bartender in the pub through a tube hidden in one of the paws. Finish: A floral sweetness combined with woody spice and long lasting juniper characterizes Hernö Old Tom Gin. It’s quite transportational and takes me to the remote fields and forests of Dala, and the distillery’s home. The long connection between the Royal Navy and rum can be traced back to 1655 and Vice-Admiral William Penn's expedition to the West Indies.

Hernö Gin was founded by Jon Hillgren in 2011, but the story of the distillery can be traced back to London in 1999. This sweetening lifts the floral notes, releases an array of juniper notes and makes the gin even smoother. Hernö Old Tom Gin is made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Gin and Hernö Navy Strength Gin except Hernö Old Tom Gin has an extra amount of Meadowsweet in the distillation and after diluting it down to 43%, a touch of honey is added. On the nose, Hernö Old Tom has a familiarity about it and is definitely a close sibling of their London Dry, It’s grassy, floral and fresh, with sweet citrus and juniper supporting. Produced to the almost same recipe as Herno`s excellent dry gin, their sweetened Old Tom sees the addition of a hint of extra Meadowsweet.From browsing photos of Dala, the home of Hernö Gin, there can be few more picturesque locations to make gin.
