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 the judges at both the Frankfurt International Trophy and the Singapore Awards 2019, each of which awarded our gin gold. In June 2019, a silver medal was added at the Gin Masters 2019 and in July, double bronze at the IWSC, both in London. Since August 2019, Murre Gin is also available as a 55% clear variant - the Fünnefunfuffzich.
