Master craftsmen Janne and Anders wanted to create their own version of the classic London Dry Gin, with a distinctively Swedish taste.
In their small workshop on the Göta Canal, next to the famously clear Lake Vättern in tranquil Borensberg, Sweden, they blended some of the purest water in the world a gin with carefully selected botanicals in search of the perfect balance of flavours. After years of experimentation and refinement, their breakthrough came when they added the King of Swedish herbs, Crown Dill.
Not too little, not too much, JÜST the right amount.
The subtle lemony-sweet flavour, so essential in Swedish cuisine, gave their gin the distinctive taste of Sweden they’d been looking for.
The word ‘dill’ itself comes from the old Norse word ‘dylla’, meaning to soothe or lull.
Perfectly Borensberg.
Meticulous, stubborn and patient in their recipe and production, Janne and Anders finally created a world-class, proudly Swedish gin.
NOTES FROM THE BOYS
Balance, simplicity and integrity is at the heart of our craft.
But we wanted to bring something unique to gin with a distinctly Swedish taste.
We set out to create a smooth gin that delivered something a little different, a bit unexpected.
Inspired by traditional dry gin but noticeably Swedish.
It took us a little longer than expected, but we got there.
Janne & Anders
JUST THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS
JÜST blends 6 carefully selected international botanicals, led with fresh Swedish Dill.
The king of herbs in Sweden, Dill’s lemony, sweet-flavour and aniseed-like aroma is characteristic of many Swedish dishes.
Our meticulously selected botanicals include: Juniper berries from the Austrian Alps, Grains of Paradise from West Africa, Mediterranean sweet and bitter almond and Licorice Root from Ceylon.
We use some of the purest water in the world, and combine everything in exact proportion. Using small-batch production techniques, after mixing each batch of JÜST dill gin, we allow it to rest in stainless steel maturing tanks until we obtain the ideal fusion of ingredients to make our perfectly balanced, quintessentially Swedish Gin.
