show moreAustrian gin is characterized by its high quality and the use of regional and often organic botanicals. Austrian gin producers attach great importance to artisanal production methods and the use of local ingredients. The gins vary in their flavor profile, from classic to innovative, and offer a wide range of flavors that appeal to both traditional and modern gin lovers.
Austrian gin production combines the traditional art of distillation with modern approaches and a strong focus on quality. The basis is neutral grain alcohol, in which carefully selected botanicals such as juniper, herbs, flowers and citrus fruits are macerated and then gently distilled. Many producers consciously focus on regional and organically grown ingredients, such as the aromatic diversity of Alpine flora. Regional botanicals such as gentian, Swiss stone pine, elderflower, mountain mint or spruce needles create unique flavour profiles - from floral and fresh to spicy and resinous. These ingredients, often organically grown or wild-collected, give the gin a clear Alpine identity and set it apart from international varieties in terms of flavour.
Austrian gin impresses with regional ingredients, artisanal distillation and creative flavour profiles. We particularly recommend Reisetbauer Blue Gin, which uses 27 botanicals, including lemon zest, lavender and coriander, to create a complex, finely balanced flavour experience. The Aeijst Gin from Styria should also be emphasised - a 100% organic London Dry Gin, which is given an elegant, spicy-fresh note by juniper, ginger, lemon verbena and cardamom.
For those who like it floral and soft, there is Fuxbau Gin, which unfolds a particularly gentle character with elderberry, apple mint and rose petals. For lovers of intense herbal flavours, Rick Gin from Vorarlberg offers a powerful alternative with organic botanicals such as yarrow, blackberry leaves and spruce needles.
Austrian gin is extremely versatile and forms the basis for many classic and modern cocktails. Here are some of the most popular cocktails that can be made with Austrian gin:
Kranewitter is a traditional juniper schnapps from the Alpine region and is often confused with gin - wrongly, as there are clear differences. While a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% vol. and flavouring with juniper and other botanicals are required by law for gin, Kranewitter is usually simpler in structure and based solely on juniper. It usually has a lower alcohol content and is distilled without complex herbal blends.
In terms of flavour, gin is often more versatile - with citrus, herbal or spicy notes - while Kranewitter tastes more tart, resinous and directly of juniper. Gin is also produced using sophisticated processes such as steam infusion or maceration, whereas Kranewitter is produced more traditionally. The two spirits differ not only in their recipes, but also in their style, standards and legal definition.
