Our botanicals, carefully chosen and portioned, sit ready in the basket. 🌿

Each one brings its unique note, blending perfectly during distillation to give our Gin its signature character. Simple, natural, and crafted with care.

Oranges are part of the foundation of our Gin. 🍊

For every batch, we peel them freshly by hand. As the zest is removed, the citrus aroma fills the air in our distillery, bright and uplifting.

While not the main botanical, orange peel belongs to the base of our recipe, adding a subtle yet essential layer. It brings a gentle freshness and a fine citrus note that supports the entire composition.

Freshly peeled. Carefully distilled. Beautifully balanced.

At our distillery, every bottle of gin is filled, corked, sealed, and labeled entirely by hand. No production lines. No shortcuts. Just us.

We believe modern craft means staying close to what we create - and to the people who enjoy it. That’s why every bottle passes through our hands before it reaches yours.

Small family business.

Northern ingredients.

Honest craftsmanship.

Made in Finland. Made by us.

Our Ruby Gin has slipped into something new.

A fresh design - refined, radiant, unmistakably bold.
The same ruby glow.
The same delicate botanicals.
The same smooth, fruit-kissed depth you love.

New look.

Same soul.

Sip the story. ✨🍸

Winter in Kitee is quiet and precise. That atmosphere influences how we work.

We distil Kitee Dry Gin with a clear focus on structure and balance — juniper forward, supported by the earthy depth of local Jerusalem artichoke.

Ruby Gin starts from the same base and rests for two weeks with cranberry and bilberry. The result is natural colour and a defined berry character without losing the backbone of the original distillate.

This year we reduced our range to concentrate on what represents us best. A smaller line-up. Clearer identity. Better focus.

Crafted in Eastern Finland.🇫🇮

Nature writes its own story.
The northern winter is long and quiet, but full of beauty - and resilience.
Just like our Gin.

Sharpening our focus to grow stronger partnerships.

Over the past year, we took a deliberate step back.
To look at our portfolio, our capabilities, and where we truly create value.

The result?
A reduced and sharpened product range that reflects what we do best.

Today, our focus is a small, clear line-up built on consistency, character, and craft:

• Kitee Dry Gin – juniper-forward, grounded by local Jerusalem artichoke
• Ruby Gin – the same base, enriched with cranberry and bilberry
• GNISH – our low alcohol alternative for more thoughtful drinking moments

This clarity allows us to be more reliable, more flexible, and more supportive partners.

As a small, family-run distillery in Eastern Finland 🇫🇮, we’re now looking to connect with distributors who value well defined products, transparent collaboration, and long term thinking.

If this resonates, let’s talk.

In Finland, winter invites us to slow down.

Snow settles on the roofs in Kitee, the forests grow quiet, and we gather closer - drawn to the glow of shared moments.
Our spirits grow from that same feeling.

Crafted by our family distillery in Eastern Finland, they carry the crispness of winter air and the warmth of a home filled with stories, laughter, and light.

This festive season, let Kalevala spirits accompany the moments that matter - around the table, by the fire, or wherever you celebrate.

Winter in the wild ❄️❄️🇫🇮
Tracks in the snow, silence in the forest — this is the calm that shapes our spirits.
Every season leaves its mark on Kalevala.
