Our origin
Honest Swedish gin from the ground up
Every drop of Bråhovda Gin is made from Swedish ingredients, from soil to bottle. 100% grown, wild-picked, harvested, broken down, mashed, macerated and distilled in Sweden. Entirely without compromise.
The taste comes from the place we work in – the local botanicals, the craft, the climate and the soil. The result is a unique gin whose flavour profile cannot be replicated anywhere else. It has its own distinctive terroir.
Ingredients
-
Wheat
The wheat is grown organically by the Weidman family on the neighbouring farm, Flassbro. Together we have experimented with wheat varieties, which – somewhat surprisingly – have played a very important part in the flavour profile of the final product. The current product uses spring wheat.
-
Juniper
The juniper berries have been picked by hand in the cultural landscapes around Bråhovda, over an ever wider area.
-
Coriander
Swedish-grown coriander seed is an important contributor to the classic gin character.
-
Rhubarb
The rhubarb has been grown and harvested on our own farm in Bråhovda – without pesticides or artificial fertiliser, of course.
-
Mint
The mint is harvested and used fresh when we flavour our gin. It is an important part of the freshness in a Nordic gin produced entirely without citrus.
-
Lingonberry
Lingonberries from the forests of Sörmland add a tart yet rounded note that strengthens the gin and brings Nordic nature to mind.
-
Yarrow
Yarrow grows wild in Sörmland. It is dried gently and gives a subtle herbal note with hints of summer flowers.
