This #fredagsbar we couldn't choose between an A&T and a G&T, so we went for both! It's important to lead a balanced life 🥂 We are away next week, so please bear in mind that any UK orders will be shipped the week after. Our Broen gin is proving popular, make sure you get a bottle to try before we run out of stock! #vintersol #aquavit #akvavit #distillery #distilling #handmade #scandi #scandinavia #nordic #putney #london #londonarches #istillfamily

After months of explaining how aquavit is 'like Scandinavia’s answer to gin', we are thrilled to announce the launch of Broen Gin! Our distiller Sasha has worked hard to create a spirit that spans the gap between London dry gin and Scandinavian aquavit, resulting in something unique that showcases the best of both worlds. Broen (meaning 'the bridge' in Danish) is a gin by virtue of its juniper-forward profile, and offers classic notes of pine, earth, autumn fruit, and sweet citrus, all underpinned by the characteristic caraway spice and lingering warmth of a traditional aquavit. We’ve (repeatedly) taste tested it as a team, and it is exceptionally smooth and versatile, beautiful neat or with tonic, and can be used in any number of classic gin or aquavit cocktails. Broen can be purchased from our online shop (UK only for the moment, sorry!), where, to celebrate this new release, we are offering 10% off all our products for the next 10 days with code BridgingTheGap. Skål! #vintersol #aquavit #akvavit #distillery #distilling #handmade #scandi #scandinavia #nordic #putney #london #londonarches #istillfamily #gin #newgin #newproduct #productlaunch
