Three specific places supply the wild plants: the shores of the Maschsee, the Leine floodplains, and Europe's largest urban forest. All three sit within Hannover, which makes this a gin foraged inside a city rather than gathered from a countryside somewhere far away. Those plants are combined with selected botanicals brought in from further afield, distilled in small batches to a family recipe the house keeps entirely to itself, and bottled at 42% ABV.

The herbal register leads and it is green rather than dry, closer to living plants than to dried leaves, which is what foraging shortly before distillation tends to give. A floral note runs above it, delicate and unforced, and beneath both sits an earthy depth that anchors the whole thing and keeps it from floating. Citrus arrives across the top as brightness rather than as fruit, and mint appears late with a cooling lift that lengthens the finish considerably. The result is lively and refreshing rather than heavy, and it holds its shape well at 42% where a lower strength would have let the wild plants fade.

Because so much of the character comes from plants gathered in one place, the mixer has no business importing another. Restraint here is not caution but consistency. A plain tonic keeps the wild herbs legible; a botanical tonic simply argues with them. Use plenty of ice and pour gently, since brisk carbonation strips the lighter herbs first. A sprig of fresh mint stays closest to the recipe, and citrus peel takes over when the top needs sharpening. Foraging inside a city is easy to present as a marketing line; here it produces a green, living herbal character that dried imported botanicals do not give. It closes herbal, earthy and cool.
