The power and meaning of the color black are as contradictory as with hardly any other color. In psychology, black stands on the one hand for threat, disease, fear and death - social aspects that are particularly true in reference to the current pandemic COVID. On the other hand, this dominant color is considered mysterious, seductive and elegant in a positive sense.
So it is no wonder that before tasting the Dark Gin, a feeling of curiosity, but also fear can arise. After all, in the end, "Who's afraid of black...? GIN!!!"
After distillation of the Dark Gin and dilution to drinking strength, chips of licorice are inserted for a few days to enrich the aroma spectrum with filigree licorice notes.

Hoolgaascht
"Nature makes nothing in vain" - true to this dogma of Aristotle, I, Marco Hage, first devoted myself to high-proof pleasures in 2001, when I harvested, cleaned, mashed and fermented the fruits of the full fruit trees on the estate of Villa Waldhof in Upper Swabia. After proper maturation and distillation, the result was a mirabelle plum brandy that quickly convinced me as a layman and the first connoisseurs in my circle of acquaintances, and which laid the foundation for my passion for high-quality alcoholic beverages. The pursuit of the highest possible natural quality, the hunger for novelty and my experimental enthusiasm have created a wealth of experience over the years, which today comes into its own in the production of noble distillates. In 2008 I settled in Schwäbisch Hall and immediately found my adopted home here. Away from my professional activities, I continued the...
