Turicum Handcrafted Dry Gin 50cl

When the two managing directors, Oliver Honegger and Merlin Kofler, visited several gin distilleries in England, the foundations for Turicum Gin were laid. Inspired by English gins, they decided to create a gin for Zurich. ‘Turicum’ is made from 12 botanicals. These include, amongst others, lime blossom from the Lindenhof, hand-picked fir tips from Zurich, rose hips from Oli’s garden and the secret ingredient No. 3.
Turicum Gin is produced in the heart of Zurich using the so-called ‘small-batch’ method, i.e. in small batches. The London Dry style guarantees that no additives other than the botanicals and water are used. Furthermore, Turicum Gin contains no sweeteners.


’s flavour profile “This gin is colourless only in appearance. Transparent and clear as a diamond, it is nonetheless no flatterer. Sage, coriander, cherry and the sweetest juniper tickle the nose. It is utterly beguiling from the very first whiff; yet the palate knows exactly what to expect. No frills. Thyme, orange and lemon peel, and a few secrets dance across the palate. Robust yet elegant, inviting to drink, velvety and sexy. And extremely bitter once the bottle is empty.’ Sommelier & columnist Shirley-Ann Amberg

About Turicum
The story of Turicum began in June 2013: whilst visiting English gin distilleries, the current managing directors Merlin Kofler and Oliver Honegger decided to develop their own gin. Together with their two friends, Philip Angst and Oscar Martin, they turned this idea into reality within two years.
One thing was paramount throughout the development process: they wanted to create a gin ‘from Zurich’ to honour the character of their hometown and, at the same time, celebrate it beyond the city limits.
