Clouds Gin

A fresh and bright Swiss Gin based upon a classic cherry-based local Spirit called Kirsch.

Sometimes no one person or company is responsible for making a new Spirit. Sometimes it’s a collaboration. And that’s what we have here. The Clouds Bar is a beautiful bistro and bar in the heart of Zürich. Bar manager Andreas Kloke collaborated with a local Swiss maker of Schnapps — Humbel Spezialitätenbrennerei — to create a signature Gin to serve in the bar. This is the result.

Clouds Gin is very different and very Swiss. It all starts with a traditional Swiss Brandy made from cherries called Kirsch. It’s into this cherry-sourced Spirit that they infuse classic Gin botanicals, including juniper, coriander, thyme, sage, lemons, oranges. The combination brings out an aromatic fresh and lightly fruity note. It’s a very good addition to the great work in Gins coming out of Central Europe.
