Hernö Navy Strength Gin is a flagship made from the same distilled gin as Hernö Dry Gin, but with 57 % alcohol content. The difference in aroma and taste is very clear and the strength of Hernö Navy Strength has an overall richer taste with more pronounced juniper, coriander, citrus and especially spices.
Hernö Gin Distillery is Sweden's first dedicated gin distillery, located in Dala, near Härnösand. Founded in 2011 by Jon Hillgren, it is renowned for its organic and sustainably crafted gins. Using traditional copper pot stills, Hernö combines high-quality botanicals like juniper, coriander, lemon peel, lingonberry, and birch leaves.
