Spirits enthusiasts can experience premium Finnish gin, Tënu Gin, for the first time, exclusively at selected cocktails bars here in Singapore. Tënu Gin is crafted from rare wild forest ingredients deep in the Finnish Taïga – the last primitive, untamed forest wilderness of the North. Tënu’s slogan ‘The Spirit of the Forest’ describes the brand’s humble effort to pass on the magical sensation when you become one with surrounding nature.
Tënu Gin takes its inspiration and botanicals from the depths of the dark and vast forests in Finland and is distilled and bottled by Finnish monks in the Valamo Monastery Distillery in Heinävesi, Finland. The greatest care is taken to keep alive the spirit’s communication with its origins, the virgin forest. The ingredients live through the cold and dark winter and the midnight sun of the almost endless Finnish summer, and therefore have a very special character. Tënu Gin is elegant, balanced, floral, yet strong. The main ingredient juniper is not dominant, as such Tënu’s lightness requires extra skills to make the spirit shine in cocktails, and the rewards are just as remarkable.
