Nick & Boris

The roots of the "78 Stopinj" distillery run deep on two continents – from New Zealand all the way to Slovenia. They sprout up in the picturesque Slovenian region of Styria, where Aufbix Gin is distilled. Nick brought his ample wine-making expertise from Heaps Good Wine,and Boris joined him after searching for the most secret local recipes throughout Slovenia. Both are proud fathers, longtime friends, and unrivalled perfectionists in discovering and creating unique niche blends. The fruits of their labor are currently found in Slovenia's finest gin, and that's only the beginning.  At the end of the day Nick and Boris are breaking the mold with their small-batch distillery, while proving that their global story is written by their insistence on local quality.

The conception of Gin Aufbix happens in a land where the grass is always greener, where animals can speak and everyone is a winner.  It's a land where enemies become best friends and Aufbix is the toast of choice for every occasion. No wonder this is Slovenia's most unique gin – crafted from the finest ingredients, spiced up by a touch of high quality citrus.

FLAVOR

The flavor of Gin Aufbix is unique to its ingredients. It’s very balanced and fits well in cocktails or can be enjoyed neat over ice.  

You will dive into essences of Juniper berries, Coriander, Cardamom, Carob, Angelica and Orris root. All this is spiced up with fresh Pink grapefruit and Blood orange peel from Sicily. 

As one of the key ingredients is water, we use ours from Pohorje hills bellow which our distillery »78 Stopinj« is origins. The water we us is untouched. Due to the rock structure we don’t distill nor filter it. 

INGREDIENTS

The components of Aufbix Gin are carefully selected: we use Carob from Eolian island of Panarea and Croatia coast, Angelica and Orris roots eco grown in Slovenia, Coriander and Cardamom from the Middle East and citrus from small Sicilian eco growers.

WATER

Water is sourced locally where Aufbix Gin is distilled.

It is of high value for us and how proud we are of the fact that there is no need to distill or filter the water before adding it to the spirit. 

Our water comes from Mount Pohorje where we started our distillery and due to the bedrock structure it is very soft and clean and therefore perfect. It gives Aufbix Gin it’s signature gentleness.
