The legendary sailor Knut Hansen is the face of our gin – an honest guy, who didn’t let anything or anyone stop him on his journey, taking the freedom to head for the places he always wanted to see and having countless adventures along the way. We produce many bottles of KNUT HANSEN daily on our copper 150l distillery of the company Arnold Holstein. In an elaborate process, our gin is distilled four times in small passes at an extremely slow energy input and then bottled in the distinctive KNUT HANSEN ceramic bottles. We track exactly from which cultivation the individual ingredients in our gin production. We also attach great importance to using botanicals from our fine northern Germany. For example, the apples come from the old Land south of the Elbe, the basil and the cucumbers we may take from the family greenhouse and the rose petals come from the Baltic Sea dike. Taste: Balanced notes of juniper and citrus, accompanied by cucumber, basil, and fresh apples. Aroma: Juniper,Fresh herbal and green‑herb notes.
