In the heart of Switzerland, nestled in the picturesque town of Zurich, lies the distillery of APERØT. Here, they craft a gin that's as unique as the country it hails from - APERØT Dry Gin. This isn't just another gin; it's a testament to the art of distilling, a symphony of botanicals, and a celebration of Swiss heritage.
The APERØT Story
APERØT's journey began in 2017, when founders Reto Gurtner and Marco Friggieri decided to create a gin that truly represented their home. They wanted to capture the essence of Switzerland - the fresh mountain air, the vibrant city life, and the rich cultural heritage. Thus, APERØT Dry Gin was born, a gin that's as diverse and complex as the country it honors.
APERØT Dry Gin: A Botanical Masterpiece
APERØT Dry Gin is a masterclass in botanical distilling. It's crafted using a blend of 11 botanicals, each carefully selected for their unique flavors and aromas. The base spirit is distilled from Swiss wheat, providing a clean canvas for the botanicals to shine.
- Juniper Berries: The star of the show, providing the classic gin flavor.
- Coriander Seeds: Adding a citrusy, spicy note.
- Angelica Root: Contributing a warm, earthy flavor.
- Lemon Peel: Infusing a bright, zesty citrus note.
- Orange Peel: Adding depth and complexity to the citrus profile.
- Lavender: A nod to Switzerland's alpine meadows, offering a delicate floral aroma.
- Hibiscus: A unique touch, providing a tart, fruity note.
- Elderflower: Adding a sweet, honey-like flavor.
- Cardamom: A hint of spice, reminiscent of Swiss alpine herbs.
- Black Pepper: A final touch of spice, rounding out the gin's profile.
APERØT's Distillation Process
APERØT uses a traditional copper pot still for its distillation process. The botanicals are steeped in the spirit for 24 hours before distillation, allowing their flavors and aromas to fully infuse. The result is a gin that's as smooth as it is complex, with a long, lingering finish.
APERØT Dry Gin: The Perfect Serve
APERØT Dry Gin is versatile, pairing well with a variety of mixers and garnishes. For a classic G&T, pair it with a premium tonic water and a twist of lemon or orange peel. For something more adventurous, try it in a Negroni or a Martinez. The gin's complexity means it shines in both simple and complex cocktails.

Each sip transports you to the alpine meadows, the bustling city streets, and the rich cultural heritage of this fascinating country.
