HEIMAT Fresh Ginger Spirit

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 25% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: No

Special Features:

HEIMAT's fresh ginger spirit brings together three flavour-giving ingredients: distilled organic ginger, organic agave syrup and cold-pressed lemon juice. It comes from the HEIMAT distillery in Schwaigern.

Distilled ginger provides the spicy core. Agave syrup tempers its heat with gentle sweetness, while lemon juice adds freshness and a tart edge. At 25%, the result is a balance of sweet, sour and spicy flavours.

The 0.5-litre version can be enjoyed neat as a shot or with soda water over ice. It also offers further mixing possibilities as a spritz or with tonic. Served neat, its ginger and citrus notes stand out particularly clearly.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Bold, fresh ginger leads on the nose, accompanied by tart notes.
• Palate: On the palate, warm ginger spice combines with pleasant heat. Lemon adds fruitiness, acidity and a slight bitterness, while agave syrup contributes gentle sweetness.
• Finish: The long finish is warm and lightly spicy.

Distillery/Bottler:

HEIMAT Distillers produces its spirits in Schwaigern. The distillery occupies a former natural stone works that was converted for distilling after standing empty for an extended period. Visitors can gain an insight into production there; the ginger spirit ingefær is also included in the tastings.

HEIMAT Distillers uses water from a cistern to cool the still, saving around 1500 litres of drinking water per distilling day. This practice applies to the distillery's operations as a whole; the ginger spirit gains its individual character from the combination of distilled ginger, agave syrup and lemon juice.
