Skiclub Kampen North Sea Gin

This Gin is an elegant dance of North Frisian chic and German attention to detail.

Picture this: a surreally beautiful island with long, sandy beaches in the North Sea, Sylt is famous for being a chic, exclusive getaway destination. But as they say, no good story starts with a glass of water (or in this case, an island description) and this one, too, started with a glass of excellent Vodka in Manne Pahl, a Michelin restaurant in Kampen, Sylt. In 1989, Pius Regli and Jörg Hinck came up with a very erm, interesting idea to found a Ski Club on Sylt, an island with no mountains and not a whole lot of snow. Since the skiing part has been rather limited on Sylt, this small drinking club focused more on quality Spirit production and quite successfully so. No wonder, since their distillery, located in Germany, dates back to 1864 and its owners were granted the license to distill in the 15th century.

Like all their premium Spirits, North Sea Gin is based on Skiclub Kampen North Sea Vodka. Made from wheat, which is sown, grown and harvested on their 24 hectare farm, it is then distilled five times in copper stills. As a final step, a unique silverdust filter is used to eliminate acidic components and fusel oils, which explains the exceptionally mild taste of this Gin. After adding high-quality botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, lavender, marjoram and lemon balm, we are left with a super delicate, aromatic Gin. So good, in fact, it received a Gold Medal in 2019 at the prestigious International Spirits Challenge. In its desginer white matte bottle, it's the quintessential Northern style meeting German quality.
