Murre Gin - Premium London Dry Gin from the Rhineland
Small batches and only 7 botanicals such as juniper, carrot, orange zest, peppermint and cinnamon - that's our handmade and multi-award-winning premium dry gin with carrot from the Rhineland!
Tasting notes: The nose is juniper-led, followed by fresh orange and peppermint notes on the palate. This is followed by a pleasant sweetness and a subtle spiciness. The finish is long, maintaining the freshness and sweetness, and now the carrot flavor also comes to the fore.
It is a mild gin, but it also remains perceptible in tonic water. If its 44 % vol. may seem a little too weak for you, we have the "big brother" Fünnefunfuffzich with 55 % vol. on offer. As a tonic, we recommend Hop Tonic from Braumanufaktur Hertl and a slice of orange as a garnish.
Murre Gin was awarded 5 out of 5 stars by ginnatic.com in March 2019, gold at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2019 in April and also at the Singapore Awards 2019 in May. This was followed by silver at the Gin Masters 2019 in June and double bronze at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in London in July.

Our gin comes from Sankt Augustin-Hangelar in the Rhineland. Carrots used to be grown here because of the sandy heath soil around the Hangelar airfield, which has been in operation since 1909. We wanted to create a product with local color, Murre (Rhenish for carrots) Gin in fact. So Murre Gin is definitely a tribute to our Rhenish roots - "Remember where you come from". After the decision for the carrot was made, we experimented at home with different botanicals, the results were tasted in the circle of friends. At some point, the basic desired composition was found and we turned to Frank Ginsberg, who was to become the distiller of our juniper. Together with him, the recipe got a final polish and since summer 2018 we now produce small batches of about 300 bottles with 44% Vol. We want to remain familiar and at the base and still deliver quality. That this is the case was found by...
