Berliner Brandstifter Berlin Dry Gin
Berliner Brandstifter · Berliner Brandstifter Distillery
Berliner Brandstifter uses an all-organic wheat base and a restrained botanical bill that favors Berlin's urban terroir — elderflower and woodruff among them. The result is a gin that's both classical in structure and distinctly Central European in personality. It rewards drinking neat as much as it does in a well-made Martini.
Nose
Juniper leads confidently but shares the stage with elderflower, fresh lemon zest, and a gentle lavender note. Beneath that sits a subtle coriander warmth and the faintest trace of orris root — powdery and elegant.
Palate
Clean and balanced, with pine-forward juniper meeting bright citrus on the attack. The mid-palate introduces a delicate floral character — rose and chamomile — alongside a peppery warmth that keeps things grounded. The texture is silky, almost creamy.
Finish
Medium, with lingering juniper, a whisper of angelica root, and a final floral exhale. Remarkably refined.
