Hernö Old Tom Gin is silky sweet, botanically intense gin built upon the flagship gin. The extra grams of meadowsweet and honey in the recipe help the distillery to reimagine this style, making a gin that's up there as one of the best in the world.
Won a Gold medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2023.
Hernö Old Tom Gin is a soft, silky spirit that fills the cheeks. With floral meadowsweet. Extra honey adds weight to the vanilla and lingonberries allowing it to linger beautifully. This is one at its best when stirred into a Martinez.
"Hernö's Old Tom takes meadowsweet and places it alongside juniper in a perfectly framed picture that evokes the Swedish countryside. It's fresh, floral, layered and has a sweetness that lingers. Devine."
Juniper and coriander are added to the spirit way ahead of distillation, with the rest following mere moments ahead of the run. The finished spirit is cut to bottling strength with water pulled from Hernö Distillery’s very own well.
Hernö Distillery was launched in Sweden by Distiller Jon Hillgren in December 2012. Over the years the team has grown, with all sharing a relentless passion to live up to the ideal of Swedish excellence in each of their roles.
Hernö is located in the very north of Sweden, surrounded by the spectacular, pristine beauty of the High Coast. This stunning region is reflected in the clarity of elegant flavours they manage to capture in their gins.

Hernö Juniper Cask Gin was the first gin in the world to be aged in juniper casks, showing very on just how innovative the Swedish distillery could be. The barrel lends so much to the gin, filling it...
"So piney and sappy it's like shaving the tip of a pencil before you touch the lead. That full resinous nature is at its best in cocktails like the Negoni, but the Juniper Cask Gin can also be enjoyed in a highball with soda."
A limited edition Gin, Hernö Artisan Ten is gently matured in birch casks. It was launched as an homage to their home of Dala and in our opinion is one of their best gins to date. High praise given...
Hernö Sloe Gin is added to juniper casks that have been used to mature Hernö Juniper Cask Gin. Salivating yet? We certainly were when we heard about this 'Slow' Sloe Gin.
