More information about 20457 Hafencity Gin
PORT & CITY
Inspired by what characterizes the port of Hamburg. Spices and specialties, tradition and modernity, departure and arrival. With the freshness of kaffir lime leaves and oranges and mildly spicy notes of nutmeg, cubeb pepper and 8 other botanicals, this unique London Dry Gin brings the spirit of HafenCity to life.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & TIME
The 20457 Hafencity Gin is produced in a small manufactory in northern Germany using a copper 200-liter still from the Arnold Holstein company. First, the botanicals are macerated for several days to extract the essential oils. We take our time so that the natural aromas can develop and remain intact.
The gin is distilled slowly, gently and in small quantities four times. The bottles are then filled, corked, labeled and numbered by hand. This makes each bottle unique. The 20457 Hafencity Gin meets the strict criteria of a genuine London Dry Gin. And you can taste it.
MILD & DELICIOUS
20457 Hafencity Gin is so mild that you can also enjoy it straight. It tastes balanced and complex. Its multi-faceted aroma unfolds gradually.
At first, the juniper berries are reminiscent of a pine forest. Then the exotic freshness of the kaffir lime leaves and orange surprises. The nutmeg adds a spicy note before the pleasant peppery note of cubeb pepper forms the finish. Its pine and eucalyptus notes in turn go wonderfully with the juniper.
GIN & TONIC
5 cl 20457 Hafencity Gin

To leave room for the diverse aromas of the gin, we recommend a neutral tonic in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 - depending on your preferences, e.g. Thomas Henry, Fever Tree Indian, Goldberg, Schweppes Dry. Suitable garnishes include a slice of fig, some orange or a kaffir lime leaf.

Spirit of Hafencity
A special gin that fits a special place: Hamburg's Hafencity. That was the idea from which our Hafencity Gin was finally born. Its taste should combine tradition and modernity, Speicherstadt and Hafencity, the wholesale fruit market with its exotic fruits and the harbor as home and place of longing. René Wolf, Hafencity resident, art director and connoisseur, developed the finely balanced character of Hafencity Gin in a year and a half. More than 65 different recipes from over 150 self-produced distillates finally led to the perfect composition. Antonio Fabrizi, operator of Club 20457 in Hafencity, was thrilled. Together we, Fabrizi and Wolf founded Spirit of Hafencity and were able to open the first bottle of 20457 Hafencity Gin in the fall of 2017.
