Knut Hansen Dry Gin
|
Knut Hansen Gin was launched in 2017 by friends Kaspar Kagedorn and Martin Spiek who began experimenting with recipes in 2016 using a table-top still in Martin's living room. The first batches were distilled at Dollerup Distillery before Kaspar and Martin established Hamburg Distillery and began distilling in-house in 2019. Their gin is inspired by and named after the legendary German sailor and explorer, Knut Hansen, who was from Hamburg and is depicted on the ceramic bottles. Tasting Notes: Bold aromas of juniper, apple sweetness and a herbal note. Refreshing, subtly sweet and fruity on the palate with juniper & herbaceous notes. A lingering finish with subtle sweetness, juniper, apple and liquorice. Serving / Garnish Suggestion: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Orange, Cucumber or Apple, or in a Basil Smash. |

The Gin Guide Review
Behind the piercing exterior of the tattooed, scarred sailor is a vibrant and charming gin. Knut Hansen Gin combines juniper, apple sweetness, cucumber freshness, green herbaceous notes and earthy liquorice to great effect and with impressive balance. The nose is instantly and enticingly fragrant with juniper, apple and herbs, and this continues onto the palate with liquorice emerging in the finish. It is characterful and engaging from the bottle to the spirit. When mixed with tonic the gin is fresh and herbaceous with all of the flavours holding true and remaining strong when diluted. Orange, cucumber or basil are ideal garnish starting points for a G&T. - Paul Jackson, 2020 |
