Swedish Island of Hven is located in the strait of Denmark and is a small piece of land, only 8 square kilometers large, since long time ago dedicated to agriculture.
The same name distillery utilizes only bio botanicals from the island and bio wheat alcohol. The gin is refined in barrels between first and second distillation made with a non continuous copper pot.
This is the gin served at NOMA in Copenhagen.
* Curiosity: The alcoholic level of Navy Strength comes from XVIII Century, when the ships of the English Navy were always carrying a reserve of gin as a cure against malaria, scurvy and other illness. But some officers realized that, if you were pouring gin on gun powder the same was smoking only if the gin was at 57° ABV. Since then, the standard on ships became this gradation, the so called Navy Strength.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
