Berlin Distillery Sundown gin is a smooth and harmonious gin. It reveals fresh and juicy flavours of orange and grapefruit combined with tangy sea buckthorn and spicy juniper. The harmony between the warm and fruity notes of citrus fruits and the power of juniper allows Berlin Distillery Sundown gin to be tasted pure, with ice cubes, as if diluted with a tonic. On its label is a sunset over Berlin, the last light through the bottle. Would Sundown be a call for after-work?

Key characteristics
About this gin
Berlin Distillery is a renowned producer of fine spirits, with a rich history and a commitment to traditional methods of production. Located in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany, this distillery has been crafting exceptional spirits for over a century.
The history of Berlin Distillery dates back to the late 19th century when it was founded by a group of passionate distillers. They set out to create spirits that would capture the essence of Berlin and showcase the city's unique character. Over the years, the distillery has remained true to its roots, preserving traditional recipes and techniques that have been passed down through generations.
One of the key factors that sets Berlin Distillery apart is its dedication to using only the finest ingredients. They source their botanicals from local farmers, ensuring that each spirit is infused with the authentic flavors of the region. From juniper berries to citrus fruits, every ingredient is carefully selected to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
The production process at Berlin Distillery is a true labor of love. Each batch is meticulously crafted by hand, with every step of the process carefully monitored to ensure the highest quality. From the fermentation of the base ingredients to the distillation and aging, every detail is attended to with precision and care.
One of the flagship spirits produced by Berlin Distillery is their Sundown Gin. This exquisite gin is a testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence. Made with a blend of botanicals including juniper, coriander, and citrus peel, Sundown Gin offers a refreshing and complex flavor profile.
The production of Sundown Gin begins with the careful selection of the botanicals. The juniper berries are hand-picked at the peak of their ripeness, ensuring that they impart the perfect balance of piney and citrusy notes. The coriander seeds are sourced from local farmers, adding a subtle spiciness to the gin. Finally, the citrus peel is carefully zested, capturing the bright and zesty flavors that are characteristic of Berlin Distillery's spirits.
Once the botanicals are selected, they are macerated in a neutral grain spirit, allowing the flavors to infuse and develop. The maceration process is closely monitored to ensure that the desired flavors are extracted without overpowering the delicate balance of the gin.
After maceration, the spirit is carefully distilled in small copper stills.
