Bimmerle: Know-how meets regionality and trend awareness

At the production site in the Black Forest town of Sasbach, which was opened in 2015, this family business sets innovative standards in technology, sustainability and environmental protection. For the last five decades, Bimmerle has strived for the highest quality, with focussed know-how, modern high-tech and the traditional art of distilling. This is the first distillery in Germany where all the heating requirements and power generation are covered by the burning of fruit stones combined with woodchips from the region.

In Germany and on the European market, Bimmerle is a leader in the fruit brandies sector with the Lörch brand. In order to make the ‘playground’ more interesting, the brand identity was modernised in 2024 and will be extended in 2025 by a fruit brandy range matured in wooden casks. Needle Black Forest Gin is among the top 5 most widely sold gins in Germany. The portfolio has been expanded since 2018 with WOOD STORK Spiced Rum and the EVERMANN Black Forest whiskies Theo & Wilhelm introduced in 2022. The Black Forest distillery has enriched the liqueur and aperitif market with as many as five exciting creations under the DON PASQUALE brand.

Chilgrove Gin – Gin for all seasons

Chilgrove Dry Gin is the first gin in England that is based on a neutral spirit made of grapes, as was the norm in Genever in the Netherlands in the 16th century. Christopher and Celia Beaumont-Hutchings are the force behind the concept, but the distilling was carried out at Thames Distillers under the watchful eye of Charles Maxwell. “Chilgrove combines historic and contemporary ideas in a whole new style, as the herbal ingredients react completely differently with the wine spirit than with a grain spirit”, the master distiller explains. “A powerful, complex gin with a soft texture in the mouth and perfect length, initially with a hint of flowers, complemented by citrus flavours, leading to a peppery-spicy finish.”

The eleven selected botanicals are juniper berries as the backbone, coriander seeds, sweet orange, savory, angelica root, lime, liquorice root, iris root, grains of paradise, bitter orange and water mint. Due to its elegant style and modern taste, the adaptable ‘gin for every season and consumer’ is very versatile, from Gin & Tonic Chilgrove to Chilgrove The Fizz with English sparkling wine to Chilgrove Dry Martini and Collins. The stylish bottle is unmistakable with its silver diamond-shaped label and natural cork. The name refers to the small village of Chilgrove in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

At the World Spirits Award, Chilgrove Dry Gin was awarded silver.
