About Needle Gin

A classic gin has a bit of British, Dutch, Spanish and, of course, German history. But a Black Forest gin, such as Needle, not only combines the best of classic gin, but also impresses with a uniqueness that only a genuine Black Forest can give to gin. Needle is the special Black Forest experience. The logo reflects the so-called “common spruce” (Picea abies), which gives the needle a very special touch with its unique aroma. When taking a walk in the beautiful Black Forest in Baden, it is this unique smell of spruce needles that makes a day in this idyll relaxing and exciting at the same time. And it is precisely this experience that connoisseurs can enjoy when they remove the Needle's real wood cork and let themselves be pampered by its impressive recipe of 10 botanicals. The green pharmacist bottle conceals a distillate whose classic base is the aromatic juniper berries. Floral lavender in harmony with the typical spiciness of ginger also characterize the taste. The needle also spoils with a citrus note of top-quality sun-ripened lemons and oranges. A touch of the Orient is also added with allspice and cinnamon. But it is only with spruce needles picked by hand that the needle lives up to its name and thus acquires its unmistakable character. Needle is Black Forest all around.Read their story
