Hero Gin is the child of the craft revolution in the western Europe. In last year began to appear new brands of gin. Their creators use traditional old recipes that existed in Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom and Germany.

What is the revolution of craft gin production? Recently in western Europe small craft gin distilleries have started production according to traditional recipes, inspired by the traditional methods of producing this liquor. Craft gin is more aromatic than industrial produced gin. Even the simplest gin-based drinks gain a whole new taste.


Hero Gin is a dry gin produced in small batches. A small distillery was built in Minheim, Germany, with Hero-Wines.  Hero Gin is a simple combination of several ingredients. Its producers put in this case, however, the quality of raw materials used rather than their quantity. In the production was used juniper, lemon and orange peel, lavender and two ingredients remain secret. This simple composition gives the flower aroma and lightly fruity character expressive by a strong, but not aggressive herbal note.
This is definitely a discovery of the year! Classical gin-based drinks have gained a unique character. Hero Gin gives the classic Martini a beautiful floral aroma and citrus freshness. Negroni on the base of it tastes extremely light. Taste of Tiki drinks is perfectly blend with floral and lavender accents of Hero Gin. In pure form it perfectly improves digestion!
