Ah, what could be as sweet as a misty morning meadow, with a gentle warmth and the scents and flavours of the quintessential Finnish forests? It is none other than Napue Gin- the world’s best gin for gin & tonic! Originating from the world’s northernmost gin and whisky distillery in the rural village of Isokyrö, Finland; Napue Gin has been awarded “Best Gin for Gin and Tonic” at the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC). This is one of the highest achievements any wine, spirit, gin or tonic can attain. However, that’s not all! Napue Gin is now available in Hong Kong thanks to Food Linkers. Food Linkers helps Europe’s food and beverage brands to connect with Asian consumers.
What makes Napue the best gin and tonic in the world? With roots at the very heart of Finnish nature, Napue is a full bodied spirit with a herbal sweet taste and hints of sea-buckthorn, cranberries, pepper, rye and birch leaves. Wholegrain rye is difficult to distil but it’s worth it as it creates a gentle warmth and spice unique to rye spirit. All of these ingredients along with the low northern sun and length of day in the Finnish summer creates a special intensity of flavor in the wild botanicals. Once you taste the complex, yet simple flavors of Napue Gin, take a moment to appreciate the clean, fresh finish. You may need to sample it again, perhaps several times to fully appreciate all the unique flavors. (We think you’ll find it hard to put your glass down!)
While you can find Napue Gin at several bars across Hong Kong(Momotaro, Three Monkeys, Djibouti, Deligator, The Pawn and Iron Fairies), you may want to try the award-winning recipe at home- impressing friends and colleagues!
