When the days grow short, the gin may change season too. Hiemalis is distilled as a winter gin from the ground up — not merely relabelled.
What makes a real winter gin
A winter gin is more than gin with a cinnamon stick in the glass: the spices belong in the recipe, not the garnish. In Hiemalis, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and orange are co-distilled — plus hibiscus for acidity and lavender for fragrance. Eleven botanicals composed for short days and long evenings.
Enjoy cold or warm
Cold: in a tonic with an orange twist — the spices act like a built-in bitters accent. Warm: with hot apple juice and a cinnamon stick as winter punch, never boiled, only warmed. And in a Negroni, Hiemalis swaps the standard gin for Christmas depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is winter gin only for winter?
No — in summer, Hiemalis in a tonic with plenty of ice becomes a spicy contrast drink. The season is a suggestion, not a law.
Is winter gin sweet like mulled wine?
No — Hiemalis remains a dry gin. The spices deliver warmth in aroma, not in sugar.
Why is it called Hiemalis?
“Hiemalis” is Latin for “wintry” — the programme is in the name.
