Junimperium Distillery
​Junimperium Distillery opened in March 2019 and Junimperium Blended Dry Gin was launched as their flagship gin. The distillery is located in the Telliskivi Quarter of Tallinn in Estonia and offers distillery tours and tastings. Junimperium's gins feature Estonin juniper and three further varieties from around the world, after testing 25 varieties during development, and the bottle stoppers are also made from juniper wood.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of piney juniper, citrus and herbaceous thyme. Earthy juniper on the palate with gentle citrus and dry thyme. Coriander seeds and pepperiness lead into a finish of lingering pine and citrus.

The Gin Guide Review: True to its name, branding and juniper wood bottle stoppers, Junimperium Gin puts a distinctive focus on piney, earthy juniper as its centrepiece, accompanied by citrus, dry and herbaceous thyme, and peppery spice. With Tonic Water, the botanical oils release an abundance of piney juniper notes while citrus notes are elevated, thyme provides base notes and peppery cubebs give body and depth. It is an enjoyable juniper-centric gin that is cohesive with the brand and also highly versatile for classic gin cocktails. - Paul Jackson, 2021

Meet the Makers

"The story behind the name is very important and has a strong impact for the products. We are Junimperium, the Empire of Junipers. And to prove that fact, we use multiple junipers from around the world. Inside our Blended Dry Gin we are using unique mix of 4 different junipers from different places to get the aromatic and very smooth backbone." - Founder, Tarvo Jaansoo
