About Bene Gin

WHO DRINKS WELL, LIVES WELL Who drinks well, lives well - the Romans already knew that. However, the name BENE GIN refers less to the Latin word for good and more indirectly to the history of juniper schnapps. As early as Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine Order, it was established in his Regula Benedicti that monasteries should have their own utility gardens and various crafts had to be practiced. From the 13th century, this also included distilling, which originally served to preserve medicinal herbs, and since juniper had long been known as a remedy, it was only natural to macerate it in alcohol, thus the first gin was born. And with the variety of fruits, herbs, spices, and flowers that grew in the monastery gardens, numerous possibilities opened up to create multifaceted gins with great depth. And all the gins of the brand seize these opportunities. Their compositions are dedicated to the work of the Benedictine monks in their gardens and distilleries, their careful handling of nature's products, their knowledge of the aromas, but also the healing properties of the plants, and their art of clean and careful distilling.Read their story
