Gin Sieben - Frankfurt Dry Gin - neue Ausstattung 42,7%

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 42.7% | Colouring: No

Special Features:

The seven herbs used in Frankfurt green sauce give Gin Sieben its regional identity. Borage, chervil, cress, parsley, salad burnet, sorrel and chives complement the juniper in this recipe. Its connection to Hessian cuisine is therefore more than a reference in the name: it forms the botanical concept behind this Frankfurt Dry Gin.

Alongside its fresh herbal character, the gin has subtle floral and lightly nutty nuances. It is distilled and bottled in Kriftel, near Frankfurt am Main. This bottling contains 0.5 litres and has an alcohol content of 42.7%.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose combines fresh herbs, including chervil and parsley, with a delicate citrus note. The seven herbs come together in a balanced way, accompanied by an impression of cucumber in a sweet-and-sour pickle.
• Palate: Balanced juniper appears first on the palate, before a pronounced dill note emerges. The herbal, citrus and cucumber impressions of the nose also carry through to the flavour, accompanied by a light fruity sweetness. A subtle cress note adds to the taste. There are also lightly nutty and floral accents.
• Finish: Herbs and spice linger through the long finish with a light sweetness.

Distillery/Bottler:

Brennerei Henrich in Kriftel grew out of the family-run Obsthof am Berg fruit farm. After Horst Henrich acquired distilling rights in 1983, surplus apples, damsons, mirabelle plums and pears began to be processed into fruit spirits. Herbs also featured in the range early on: Anni Henrich made a liqueur using plants from her herb garden. A new bonded distillery removed the previous production limits in 2006, allowing the business to expand further.

Today, brothers Holger and Ralf Henrich run the family business in its third generation. Both studied beverage technology; Ralf also trained as a winemaker and gained experience as a cellar master. Inspired by contacts made during his studies, Holger introduced cask maturation for the fruit spirits. Whisky and gin later joined the fruit spirits, and Gin Sieben has been part of the distillery’s history since 2015.
