Rarner Gin
CHF 30
View BottleAt the foot of the Matterhorn the world meets — looking for a souvenir that beats a fridge magnet: for instance a gin from the neighbouring valley.
Whoever travels all the way to Zermatt wants the real thing: mountains that are no backdrop, and products from here. Johann Gin is distilled half a train hour down the valley in Raron — with larch wood and gentian from this very alpine world. Après-ski with a certificate of origin.
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.
In the online shop you choose your gin with tasting notes in English, French and German — delivered by post from the Valais to Zermatt, usually within a few working days. The stockists map additionally shows which shops and bars carry Johann Gin.
Delivery across Switzerland — straight from the distillery in Raron.
Usually a few working days — we ship by post straight from the distillery in Raron across Switzerland.
Very much so — a handcrafted gin from the Valais makes a personal, regional gift. On request we deliver directly to the recipient.
Rarner Gin: fruity, alpine and uncomplicated in a tonic. Spicier with Hiemalis, more puristic with Solstice.
