Weisshorn Glacier Gin - 50cl

Valais gin distilled in an alpine hut at 2,000 meters above sea level in Chandolin.

The Weisshorn Alpine Glacier Gin is distilled in the Valais Alps in a community with only 68 inhabitants at an altitude of 2,000 meters using a particularly gentle low-temperature process. This untouched and extraordinary nature in the Alps inspired the creators of the gin for exactly this exclusive distillate. As far as possible, they wanted to use regional and natural ingredients that grow in this area to make gin and thus bring the taste together in one bottle.

In addition to the juniper berries intended for the drink, other ingredients are also used in the distillate. A total of 12 carefully selected ingredients are processed here to make the delicious Weisshorn Alpine Glacier Gin. These include edelweiss, sweet clover, elderflower, alpine wormwood and coriander.

The fact that the location in which the ingredients grow was deliberately chosen is not only reflected in the idea of the drink, but also in its ingredients. Green hillside meadows produce many of the ingredients used, especially in summer, and the proximity to the glacier stream also ensures the unique taste of the gin and gives it its particularly soft character.

So the juniper comes from Switzerland. The edelweiss ingredient is a rare plant here and is harvested on slopes every season and is the symbol of the entire country. The gin owes its light taste of liquorice to this plant.

At around 2000 meters, many people say that the highest mountain in Chandolin with just under 100 inhabitants is something very special. Today the small distillery can be found in an alpine hut from the 19th century. Chandolin is therefore primarily characterized by its importance.
