Toison Handcrafted Ruby Red Gin is an artisan gin from Slovakia that combines the classic character of the multi-award-winning TOISON Gin with selected red berries. The base is created by macerating juniper, flowers and herbs in wheat spirit before the mixture is distilled. A distinctive feature of the production process follows distillation, as the gin is left to rest in historic earthenware vessels dating from the era of the former Czechoslovakia. This is followed by a further maceration with carefully selected raspberries, strawberries and black elderberries, which give this edition its characteristic ruby-red colour and fruity profile.


As Slovakia’s first coloured gin, Toison Ruby Red Gin occupies a special place within the range. Its intense colour comes from the berries used, with no artificial colourings or flavourings added. Visually, too, the 0.7 l bottle with 38 % vol. differs markedly from the classic Toison: whilst the latter’s design is deliberately understated and elegant, the red label and striking ruby hue emphasise the distinctive character of the Ruby Red Edition. The combination of traditional maceration, distillation, maturation in historic earthenware vessels and subsequent berry maceration makes this Slovakian craft gin an exceptional interpretation of the classic Toison Gin.
