Buy Gin in Fribourg

Bilingual, medieval, studenty: Fribourg switches effortlessly between cultures — our gin also speaks both of the country’s languages.

From the Rhône valley to Fribourg

In the city on the Saane language border you order the apéro in French or German — and Johann Gin follows suit, with tasting notes in both. Its Valais origin is instantly understood on either side of the divide.

The distilling happens at Salzmann Distillery in Raron — a family operation in the heart of the Rhône valley. Valais wine replaces neutral spirit; the botanicals come from the valley and the mountains above. You can taste it: soft entry, alpine profile, long finish.
