Volsted Hen Harrier Gin – The Taste of the Scottish Wilderness with Danish Craftsmanship

A gin with depth, finesse and natural inspiration
Hen Harrier Gin from Volsted Distillery is a Danish answer to true gin craftsmanship. Inspired by the Scottish blue harrier and the rich nature of the Highlands, this small batch London Dry Gin brings a refined and fresh flavor profile to the glass.
Based in Aalborg, Volsted Distillery demonstrates how uncompromising craftsmanship and respect for tradition can translate into a unique and high-quality gin. Hen Harrier Gin is created in small batches in a copper pot still and showcases a balanced composition of classic and botanical ingredients.
The taste – Clear, complex and balanced
The first inhale reveals notes of juniper and citrus, followed by floral accents of lavender and a touch of pine needles. The palate starts bright and vibrant with lemon zest, coriander and a complex herbal base – including angelica root and orris root – that adds depth and structure.
The aftertaste remains dry and slightly peppery with persistent citrus freshness, making Hen Harrier Gin incredibly versatile – equally suitable for a classic Gin & Tonic as for a sophisticated Martini.
Application
Hen Harrier Gin works great in cocktails, but also shines neat or with very few ingredients. Try it:
