View BottleBlueberry: Forest Aroma from the Mountains
Mountain blueberries are smaller, darker and more intense than cultivated ones. In Rarner Gin they provide depth — a quiet, woodland undertone beneath the Valais apricot.
The mountain berry in the distillate
What altitude gives the apricot in concentration, it gives the blueberry twice over: short summers and cool nights let the berries ripen slowly and store aromas lowland fruit never develops.
In gin that translates into dark fruit and a hint of forest — not a loud aroma, but one that gives the distillate its foundation.
Blueberry in Rarner Gin
In Rarner Gin the blueberry forms the dark counterweight to the bright apricot. Together with ginger, chili and larch wood, the result is a gin that starts fruity and finishes spicy and woody.
Try it in a tonic with a few fresh berries as garnish — or in a Bramble, where the berry takes centre stage.
