Discover the Elegance of ELG No.1 Gin: A Danish Craft Masterpiece
ELG No. 1 Gin is a premium Danish gin that exemplifies precision, simplicity, and innovation. Produced by Stone Grange Craft Distillery in Fredensborg, Denmark, this gin has garnered international acclaim for its unique flavor and minimalist botanical profile.
The History Behind ELG Gin
The distillery was founded by Master Distiller Henrik Elsner, a biochemist with a passion for precision distillation. Since its inception, Stone Grange Craft Distillery has focused on creating high-quality spirits with a scientific approach. ELG No. 1 was the first in the series and quickly became their flagship product.
Botanicals: Less Is More
- Juniper berries
- Coriander seeds
- Carrot
This minimalist combination may seem simple, but it results in a surprisingly complex and balanced profile. The use of carrots adds a soft, earthy sweetness that complements the spice of coriander and the classic piney backbone of juniper.
Distillation Process
ELG No 1 Gin is made using a custom-designed copper still. The botanicals are distilled separately to ensure optimal extraction of their essential oils and aromas. Afterward, the distillates are blended with precision and diluted with pure Danish spring water to 47.2% ABV.
This technique ensures consistency in every batch and a crystal-clear, vibrant gin perfect for sipping or mixing.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, with juniper-forward flavors, soft carrot notes, and a spicy coriander kick.
- Finish: Clean, dry, and aromatic.
Ideal in a Gin & Tonic, Dry Martini, or even enjoyed neat over ice.
