The canton of absinthe knows what great distillates are — our Valais gin is happy to meet that connoisseurship.
Johann Gin in Neuchâtel
From the Val-de-Travers to the lakeside promenade: nowhere in Switzerland does distilling have such tradition as here. A gin distilled on a wine base, putting gentian centre stage instead of wormwood, speaks a familiar language in Neuchâtel.
Behind Johann Gin stand Robin and Prisca Salzmann, distilling in Raron on a Valais wine base — with apricots from the valley, berries from the mountains and larch wood from the forests above the distillery. Small batches, a clear signature: Rarner, Hiemalis and Solstice.
