Gin as a Christmas Gift

A gin that tastes of Christmas: Hiemalis was distilled with cinnamon, cloves, orange and allspice precisely for this season — in Raron in the Valais.

The winter gin under the tree

Hiemalis — Latin for “wintry” — is our gin for the Advent season: apple and orange as the fruit base, topped with cinnamon, cloves, allspice and hibiscus. A gift that smells of the holidays the moment the bottle opens — while remaining a serious, dry gin rather than a liqueur.

Ordered in time, gifted personally

Order in the online shop and we deliver by post across Switzerland — on request directly to the recipient. Want to give more than a bottle? A tasting at the distillery in Raron is the experience gift for gin fans, and for corporate clients we are happy to advise on larger quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gin is best for Christmas?

Hiemalis — its profile of cinnamon, cloves and orange is made for the holidays. For classicists, the fruity Rarner Gin is the safe pick.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

We ship by post within a few working days. During Advent, allow a little lead time so the parcel is under the tree in time.

Can Hiemalis be served warm?

Yes — gently warmed with apple juice it becomes a winter punch. A serving suggestion that looks good on the gift card, too.
