Right Gin 750ML

Right Gin 750ML is a citrus-forward Swedish gin bottled at 40% ABV, built from eight individually distilled botanicals on a five-times-distilled corn base. It earned an 88-point Silver Medal from Tastings.com in 2012, and its botanical-by-botanical distillation method sets it apart from conventionally produced gins in its class.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 proof)  |  Origin: Malmö, Sweden  |  Style: London Dry–influenced, citrus-forward  |  Base Spirit: Corn, 5x distilled

Production & Heritage

Right Gin is blended and bottled in Malmö, Sweden. Rather than steeping or vapor-infusing all botanicals together in a single pass, each of the eight botanicals — juniper berry, Sarawak black pepper, coriander leaf, cardamom, lemon, bergamot, lime, and bitter orange — is individually distilled with the five-times-distilled corn spirit, then blended to the final recipe. The water used for proofing comes from Lake Bolmen, a protected source in southern Sweden selected for its exceptional softness and purity, which contributes to the gin's clean, rounded mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Orange peel and tangerine arrive first, followed by lemon blossom and a gentle backdrop of juniper. Warm cardamom and coriander add aromatic depth beneath the citrus.

Taste: The entry is sweetish and almost Old Tom–like in its approachability, with candied orange and lemon leading the way. Mid-palate, coriander seed and green cardamom emerge alongside a moderate but unmistakable juniper presence. The body sits in the medium-to-light range, keeping things agile rather than heavy.

Finish: A lingering combination of floral notes, citrus peel, and the distinctive drying bite of Sarawak black pepper closes things out. The slight warming burn extends the finish to a satisfying length without overpowering the botanical balance.

How to Drink Right Gin

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the most revealing way to experience the individual botanical layers. A splash of tonic and an orange twist makes a natural Gin & Tonic pairing, since the gin's citrus character amplifies rather than competes with the mixer. A Gimlet works well here because the lime juice mirrors the gin's own lime botanical. A Bee's Knees is a strong match — the honey syrup complements the sweetish entry and the pepper finish adds contrast. A White Negroni with Suze and dry vermouth lets the bergamot and bitter orange notes play off the gentian bitterness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Right Gin taste like? Right Gin leads with prominent orange peel and lemon citrus, supported by moderate juniper, green cardamom, and coriander seed, finishing with a peppery, drying bite from Sarawak black pepper. The overall profile skews citrus-forward and slightly sweet, closer to an Old Tom character than a dry, juniper-heavy London Dry.

How does Right Gin compare to Old Raj Gin? Both gins take a non-traditional approach to botanical intensity, but Old Raj uses saffron as its signature note and is bottled at higher proof (typically 46% or 55% ABV), while Right Gin builds its identity around citrus and pepper at 40% ABV. Right Gin's individually distilled botanical method also differs from Old Raj's single-distillation infusion.

Is Right Gin good for cocktails? Its pronounced citrus character and medium-light body make it a strong cocktail gin, particularly in drinks that welcome orange, lemon, or bergamot flavors. The sweetish entry also helps it integrate smoothly into shaken sour-style cocktails.

Where is Right Gin made? Right Gin is blended and bottled in Malmö, Sweden, using water sourced from Lake Bolmen, a protected freshwater lake in southern Sweden. The corn-based spirit is distilled five times before individual botanical distillation takes place.

What foods pair well with Right Gin? Cured salmon or gravlax highlights the citrus and pepper notes. Fresh oysters complement the gin's clean, mineral-tinged profile. Goat cheese with honey bridges the sweetish entry and the peppery finish. Thai green papaya salad echoes the lime and coriander botanicals. Dark chocolate with orange peel mirrors the gin's dominant citrus aromatics.

What sizes does Right Gin come in? Right Gin is available in the standard 750ml bottle size.

Is Right Gin worth the price? Right Gin positions itself in the premium craft tier, justified by its labor-intensive individual-botanical distillation process and the use of protected-source Swedish water. For drinkers interested in citrus-driven, botanically precise gins, the production method provides genuine differentiation over mass-produced alternatives at the same price point.

Why Right Gin?

The defining feature here is the individual distillation of all eight botanicals — a time-consuming process that gives the blender precise control over each ingredient's contribution to the final spirit. That method, combined with five-times-distilled corn spirit and Lake Bolmen water, produces a gin with unusual clarity and definition in its flavor layers. The 88-point Silver Medal from Tastings.com and scores of 86 from Distiller and 85 from Drinkhacker confirm that the approach translates to the glass. In a crowded craft gin market, Right Gin earns attention not through marketing novelty but through a genuinely distinctive production philosophy rooted in Scandinavian precision.
