Knut Hansen Dry Gin Vatnajökull Edition 2023 0.5 L is a special limited release from the renowned German brand Knut Hansen, inspired by the majestic Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland—one of the largest glaciers in Europe. This edition brings together German distillation craftsmanship and Arctic purity, resulting in a gin with a complex and distinctive aromatic profile.
Aroma: Opens with expressive fruity and berry aromas, featuring notes of cranberry (krækiber) and blackcurrant (sólber), complemented by the herbal character of Arctic thyme and cool, mineral undertones.
Palate: Rich and well balanced, with dominant sweet fruit notes of wild blueberries (aðalbláber) and raspberries, harmonised by floral and grassy accents and a subtle saline minerality derived from Atlantic sea moss.
Finish: Long and smooth, with a pleasantly refreshing and complex aftertaste that delivers a distinctive sense of freshness and gently surprising natural nuances.
Serving suggestions:
Ideal for a Gin & Tonic served with premium tonic water and garnished with blueberries or a slice of grapefruit to highlight its fruit-and-herbal character. It also performs exceptionally well in aromatic cocktails where the gin’s layered complexity can take centre stage.
