Hernö Gin, established in 2011, holds the distinction of being Sweden’s first gin distillery. Located in Dala, Härnösand, the distillery has rapidly ascended to prominence, becoming the world’s most awarded craft gin producer.

Their commitment to quality is evident in their use of natural, organic botanicals and traditional hand-hammered copper stills named Kierstin, Marit, and Yvonne. This meticulous approach ensures that each batch reflects their dedication to excellence.

The accolades Hernö Gin has garnered are a testament to their superior craftsmanship. In 2024 alone, they were honoured with the prestigious title of Gin Producer of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge in London. Additionally, the International Wine and Spirits Competition recognised them as the International Gin Producer of the Year for an unprecedented third time. These awards highlight Hernö Gin’s unwavering commitment to producing world-class gin.

Founder and Master Distiller Jon Hillgren’s passion for gin is the driving force behind the brand’s success. His vision has not only led to the creation of exceptional spirits but has also positioned Hernö Gin as a pioneer in the craft gin movement. The distillery offers a range of products, including the acclaimed Hernö Dry Gin, which has been lauded as the World’s Best London Dry Gin and is celebrated for its versatility, whether enjoyed neat or in a classic Gin & Tonic.

Beyond production, Hernö Gin is dedicated to enhancing gin culture. They have established visitor centres and bars, such as the Hernö Gin Bar in Stockholm, providing enthusiasts with immersive experiences into the world of gin. Looking ahead, the opening of the Hernö Gin Hotel in 2025 aims to further solidify their status as a premier gin destination.

In summary, Hernö Gin’s blend of traditional methods, innovative spirit, and unwavering dedication to quality has firmly established them as a leader in the global gin industry.
