Hedgehog Gin, One Eyed Spirits 43% 70cl

Description

Hedgehog Gin – or Ron Jeremy AKA The Hedgehog Gin – is made in the Netherlands for Finland’s One Eyed Spirits, the guys responsible for the wildly successful Ron de Jeremy range of Rums.

In keeping with Ron Jeremy’s profession (he is an “adult performer”, in case you didn’t know, and, if you did, shame on you!), The Hedgehog Gin claims to be the only gin in the world whose botanicals are based on “Love Herbs”, including Damiana, Ginseng, Guarana and Bergamot. The gin is distilled in 50 year old copper pot still in Holland. All the botanicals and fresh fruits are individually macerated for a few days or up to a month, depending on the botanical, before being distilled separately and finally blended after the distillates have been allowed to rest for at least two weeks. There are 12 botanicals in total, which are:

Why Is It Called The Hedgehog Gin?

Ron Jeremy earned his nickname “The Hedgehog” when he was starting out in his career in Southern California. Having never been to the West Coast before he assumed it was always sunny out there. Riding his motorbike to a shoot in a t-shirt and shorts, Ron hit a blizzard and arrived freezing cold. After a warm shower, he apparently looked “all pink and furry, like a little hedgehog”, and the nickname stuck. This gin is an homage to Ron.
