Herberry

Herberry is a craft Slovak gin created as a tribute to the wild Tatra nature, local herbs and traditional distilling. It is produced by the well-known Tatra distillery Karloff, based in Kežmarok, which is best known for its liqueurs such as Tatratea. Herberry was launched as a separate project with the aim of creating a gin that would be purely Slovak, uncompromisingly natural and modern at the same time.

The key to Herberry's identity is the number 22 – the gin is made from 22 types of hand-picked herbs that are macerated in phyto-alcohol for 22 days. This spirit is then vacuum distilled – a gentle technology that preserves the delicate essential oils, aromas and flavours of the herbs. The resulting distillate is then left to mature for another 22 days in stainless steel tanks to allow the flavours to harmonise. It contains no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

The brand's philosophy is based on locality, sustainability and a natural approach. Herbs such as lemon balm, chamomile, mint, lavender and agrimony are harvested from the surrounding mountain areas, and the production process respects traditional craft values. Herberry combines the ‘wildness’ of nature with the sophistication of the art of distillation – it is a gin that smells and tastes like a Slovak mountain meadow.
