In order to create the perfect gin, we weren’t afraid of doing reams of distilling attempts. The outcome is a spirit, which combines Mediterranean aromas elegantly with local smells from the Black Forest. 

The Distillery:
By now run in the third generation by master distiller Andreas Krüger, the family-owned distillery exists since 1969. Crypto-Gin unites many years of know-how in distilling as well as many innovative ideas with attention to detail. The gin is produced handcrafted in a traditional still from the Black Forest which, is fired by wood.

Botanicals:
Our traditional London Dry Gin contains a total of 15 botanicals, including classics such as angelica root, violet root and coriander. It also incorporates several herbs native to the Black Forest. A secret ingredient, which cannot be bought, is hand-gathered from the forest. The Mediterranean aromas are created by lavender, rosemary and lemon. The slight fruity note is complemented by the use of berries.

Maturation:
The maturation of Crypto-Gin lasts 6 weeks in total darkness in order to guarantee the optimal development of the aromas. Afterwards, the gin is reduced gently step-by-step to an alcohol content of 45%. The gin is rounded off with exceptionally soft Black Forest water.

Crypto-Gin perfect serve

Enjoy Crypto Gin

Among other things, Crypto-Gin can be drunk neat or as a classic gin and tonic.

Our Perfect Serve as a gin and tonic:   

  •     Fill glass to the brim with large ice cubes 
  •     Add 5 cl Crypto Gin
  •     Garnish with a lemon zest and / or a sprig of rosemary
  •     Fill up with tonic water

As tonic we recommend "Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water" or "Tyrol Tonic" (available in our store as a set).

Professional tip: Beat the lemon zest and the rosemary sprig a few times beforehand on the rim of the glass so that the essential oils transfer to it.
