Hernö Gin is a modern gin distilled with eight botanicals; juniper, cassia, lemon peel, vanilla, coriander, lingon berries, black pepper and meadowsweet. All botanicals are organic and carefully selected for a world-class gin. The production is all done by hand and each bottle is numbered.

The copper surface in Kierstin, Marit and Yvonne, our hand hammered copper stills, works as a catalyst, which among other things helps bringing out esters in the spirit. Water from our own well is added after distillation. To achieve maximum flavour our gin is not chill filtered. The result is a round and smooth taste, distinct juniper character, fresh citrus notes and a unique floral compexity.

It all begun with a passion for gin evolving to gin crafting. Working as a bartender in London, young Jon Hillgren started dreaming of creating Sweden’s first dedicated gin distillery.

He travelled the world for ginspiration and knowledge and his dream came true in 2011 when he and his wife bought an 1800-century farm in Dala. Jon started to create truly organic, artisan gin inspired by the natural beauty of the region and the success story took off.

Today Hernö Gin is the most awarded gin in the world since 2015 and multiple awarded World’s Best Gin. It was honoured with the World’s Best Gin 2017 and 2018 and World’s Best Matured Gin 2019, IWSC World’s Best London Dry Gin 2017, IWSC World’s Best Gin & Tonic 2016 and 2020, IWSC World’s Best Contemporary Gin 2015, San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold 2017 and 2020, Internatio - nal Spirits Challenge Double Gold 2020, Global Gin Masters Taste Master 2020 and Gin Producer of the Year 2016 and 2017.
