'Gustav Klimt' Vienna Dry Gin

• Contemporary dry gin produced by Wien [veen] Gin based in Vienna, Austria
• Distilled and bottled by the Reisetbauer Distillery in Axberg, Austria
• Produced with 21 botanicals: traditional ingredients include juniper, lavender, elderflower, lemon zest, angelica, coriander and violet root; non-traditional “aphrodisiac” botanicals include St. John’s Wort, Stinging Nettle, Bishop’s Mitre, and Lady’s Mantle
• Distilled from 100% organic, estate-grown Mulan winter wheat
• Triple distilled on a Christian Carl copper pot still
• Botanical ingredients are incorporated via maceration for 24–72 hours between the second and third distillation
• Alpine spring water is sourced for production
• A gin that beguiles while still leaping from the glass, Klimt Wien gin opens with a vivid succession of lovely floral sensations—lavender, elderflower, violet—all grounded by a broad swath of citrus oil and a reassuring juniper throughline. Sage, cedar, blue fruits, and wet stone contribute complexity on a satisfyingly broad mid-palate that lengthens to nuances of star-anise, cinnamon, and white pepper.
• 42% ABV

Cultural and civic pride never shone so brightly than in this love-letter penned by three Viennese friends to the infectious urban energy and living cultural legacy of their native city—a spirit they also tout as the world’s first “erotic-functional” gin. While the efficacy of its aphrodisiac components might best be left to the judgment of the consumer, it’s worth noting that these ingredients—St. John’s Wort, Stinging Nettle, Bishop’s Mitre, and Lady’s Mantle—are credited for such properties in traditional medicines around the world. Regardless, this is a premium sipper that sports the flavor and feel of intentional craft worthy of the gilded age its packaging evokes—a beacon, par excellence, for the back bar.
