Basel drinks with an open mind — between the Rhine banks, Kleinbasel bars and apéro culture. Johann Gin adds the taste of the Valais Alps to the glass.
Alpine gin for the city on the Rhine
At the tri-border corner the choice of international gins is vast. What is often missing: a gin that is truly from here. Johann Gin is distilled in Raron in the Valais — on a Valais wine base, with botanicals from the mountains: apricots, blueberries, larch wood, gentian.
Small batches, a copper pot still, handwork. The result is a Swiss gin that does not need to be loud to stand out next to the big names.
For the apéro and as a gift
Whether for an apéro on the Rhine bank or a gift for your hosts: a bottle of Rarner Gin or Hiemalis is a piece of the Valais in your hand — regional, handcrafted, with a story.
You find Johann Gin at selected stockists in Basel — the map shows which shops and bars carry it. Or order in the online shop and the post delivers within a few working days.

Is Johann Gin a good gift?
Very much so — Swiss craft gin from the Valais makes a personal, regional gift. Find more ideas on our "Gin as a gift" page.
What sets Johann Gin apart from international gins?
The base of Valais wine instead of neutral spirit, and botanicals from the Alps — from Valais apricot to larch wood. That yields a softer texture and a distinctly regional profile.
