View BottleOrange: Citrus with Warmth
Lemon wakes you, orange warms you: its peel brings sweet citrus notes to the distillate that perfectly suit wintry spices — the heart of Hiemalis freshness.
The peel makes the aroma
The essential oils live in the peel: during distillation they give their aroma to the alcohol — intense, without the fruit’s acidity and sugar. Orange peel delivers more warmth and sweetness on the nose than any other citrus; that is why it has always belonged to wintry spice blends.
Orange in Hiemalis
In Hiemalis the orange connects fruit and spice: it picks up the apple’s sweetness and leads over to cinnamon and cloves — like in a good punch. Serve the gin in a tonic with an orange twist to rebuild that bridge in the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why orange peel instead of juice?
The aroma sits in the peel’s essential oils. Juice would add sugar and water but hardly any fragrance to the distillate.
Which Johann Gin relies on orange?
Hiemalis — there orange, together with apple, forms the fruity counterweight to the winter spices.
Which garnish suits an orange gin?
A wide orange twist, expressed over the glass — it amplifies the botanical’s oils. Pair with a mild tonic.
