Production of Nordhäuser Violet Gin

The base for Nordhäuser Violet Gin is a high-quality neutral spirit made from grain. This spirit provides a clear foundation without distracting secondary notes. The character of the gin is built upon it. Juniper berries form the centerpiece, as befits a true gin. They impart the classic dry, resinous-fresh note.

Alongside juniper, other botanicals are used. Coriander seed contributes spice and a delicate citrus note. Angelica root and orris root provide structure and bind the aromas together. Red currants are added to create fruity nuances. Violets lend the distinctive floral signature that makes this gin so distinctive.

Production begins with the careful selection and preparation of the botanicals. The berries and roots are placed in the spirit so that they can release their aromas. Maceration extracts the aromatic compounds. Distillation follows. During this process, the pure heart of the distillate is separated from the heads and tails. Only this heart later goes into the bottle.

During distillation, fruit, blossoms, and juniper combine in harmonious interplay. The master distillers pay close attention to gentle heating and precise separation of the fractions. This keeps the floral note clear without becoming soapy. The red currants provide clean fruitiness without sticky sweetness. Juniper supplies structure and backbone.

After distillation, the gin rests. During this phase, the aromas become rounded. Finally, it is adjusted to 40.0% ABV with exceptionally pure water. The violet shimmer and intense aromatic world now present themselves in perfect balance. Each bottle leaves the distillery in Nordhausen with the aim of offering an intense and impressive tasting experience.

Serving Suggestions for Nordhäuser Violet Gin

Nordhäuser Violet Gin is ideal for creative drinks with a fruity and floral twist. Neat over ice, it reveals its finest nuances. A large glass, a clear ice cube, and slow tasting bring the red currants and violets particularly to the fore. For social occasions, however, it is especially well suited to cocktails and long drinks.

A simple yet impressive drink is a Violet Gin Tonic. Fill a highball glass with ice. Then pour in 4 cl of Nordhäuser Violet Gin. Top up with 120 to 160 ml of dry tonic water. Add a slice of lemon or lime and garnish with a few fresh berries. The result is a drink with a brilliant color and an interplay of bitterness, violets, and berries.

For guests expecting something special, a Violet Berry Fizz is an excellent choice. Add 4 cl of Nordhäuser Violet Gin to a shaker. Add 2 cl of fresh lemon juice and 2 cl of sugar syrup. Gently press a few fresh berries, such as currants or raspberries. Shake everything vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled glass. Top with soda water and garnish with violets or berries. The result is effervescent, fragrant, and highly inviting.

A floral Martini also gives an impressive interpretation of the gin. Stir 5 cl of Nordhäuser Violet Gin with 1.5 cl of dry vermouth in a mixing glass filled with ice. Strain into a well-chilled cocktail glass. Express a thin strip of lemon zest over the glass and place it in the drink briefly. This drink brings together the clear lines of juniper and vermouth, complemented by a hint of violet and berry.

Those who prefer something sweeter can opt for a Violet Gin Lemon Spritz. Fill a wine glass with ice. Add 4 cl of gin, 6 cl of lemon soda, and 6 cl of dry sparkling wine. Stir briefly and garnish with a lemon slice and red currants. The result is a fragrant, lively summer drink that is irresistible on a terrace or balcony.

Whether neat, in a tonic, in a fizz, or in an elegant Martini, Nordhäuser Violet Gin reveals its unmistakable character in every glass. Red currants, violets, and juniper create a stage on which freshness, fragrance, and clarity take center stage. In this way, every sip becomes a moment filled with aromatic magic.
