Hammer is a London Dry Gin based on an English recipe originating from 1776 and is further refined with water from the natural reserves of Hammer. The Hammer reserves are located in the Hadeland district in Southern Norway. Water from this area goes through a unique filtering process where it is purified by rock minerals which were formed around 300 million years ago during the area's volcanic period. Hammer Gin is among the purest of its kind, created with wild herbs and spices and produced according to a 200 year-old tradition. Using double pot still distillation with a unique filtering process extracts the purest flavour from the herbs, giving the product a clear, rich taste. Hammer Gin was awarded a silver medal in The International Wine and Spirit Competition in London 2005.
Tasting notes: Pure nose with a distinct aroma of juniper berries and a hint of citrus. Crispy, fresh and with a definite taste of juniper berries and elements of citrus. Refreshing aftertaste with a distinct dryness.
