Beneath the country’s most beautiful painted gables, Aarau cultivates an old-town culture with a sense for quality — a gin of origin rather than label prose fits right in.
Valais gin for Aarau
Sitting between Zurich and Bern, Aarau has learnt not to settle for average. In the bars and cellars of the old town, a Valais wine-based gin finds the right audience: one that asks where the botanicals come from.
Johann Gin is made in Raron in the Valais: distilled on a base of Valais wine, in small batches on a copper pot still, with botanicals like Valais apricot, blueberry, larch wood and gentian. Three gins, three characters — the fruity Rarner, the wintry Hiemalis, the clean Solstice.
