HERITAGE CLASSIQUE GIN AUTUMNAL 0.5L – SZCZECIN GIN WITH APPLES, CINNAMON AND BOTANICALS

What makes Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal stand out?

The defining feature of this edition is its distinctly autumnal character. The creators of the gin selected ingredients strongly associated with this time of year – above all local apples, cinnamon, sweet chestnuts and rosemary. They enrich the classic juniper foundation with sweet, fruity, spicy and herbal accents.

The idea behind the recipe was connected with Szczecin and its autumn atmosphere. The apples used in the project come from a local orchard, while the Heritage brand itself is associated with Szczecin, where its recipes are developed. Autumnal is therefore not just a flavour variant, but also a story about a specific place and its autumn associations.

It is precisely the combination of juniper, apples, cinnamon, spices and botanicals that makes this gin appealing both to fans of classic London Dry styles and to those looking for more unusual, seasonal interpretations of gin.

What botanicals are found in this gin?

Heritage Classique Gin is based on an elaborate botanical composition, allowing the classic character of juniper to be complemented by herbal, spicy, fruity and peppery notes. The listed ingredients include, among others, juniper, angelica, orris root, pink pepper and coriander.

In the Autumnal version, however, particular importance is given to ingredients associated with autumn. Apples and cinnamon give the gin its distinctive sweetness and spiciness, while rosemary and the other botanicals help maintain the fresh, herbal dimension of the overall composition.

The aroma also brings associations with the forest, spices, fresh fruit and delicate sweetness. As a result, this gin is not simply a classic juniper spirit with fruit added – it has a much more multidimensional character.

What is the best way to serve Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal?

The autumnal profile of this gin offers plenty of possibilities for cocktails. The simplest way to serve it is in a classic Gin & Tonic, but it is worth using garnishes that highlight its apple-and-spice character.

Fresh apple slices, a cinnamon stick and fresh rosemary work particularly well. These garnishes not only look attractive in the glass, but also enhance the aromas already present in the gin itself.

Autumnal also pairs well with citrus, herbal or slightly dry tonics. Another interesting option is to combine it with ginger soda, which will accentuate its warming and spicy notes.

For a more culinary approach, pair it with apple desserts, apple pie, fruit tarts, baked apples, cinnamon and nut-based desserts. On the savoury side, light herbal dishes, cheeses and dishes featuring baked fruit can work particularly well.

Where does Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal come from?

Heritage Classique Gin is a Polish brand associated with Szczecin. The Autumnal version was created as a project inspired by this city, its autumn atmosphere and local ingredients. The creators of the recipe chose to use apples from a local orchard, combining them with cinnamon, sweet chestnuts and rosemary.

The concept fits into the brand's broader philosophy of using botanicals to tell stories connected with a place and its character. In the case of Autumnal, the story is Szczecin in autumn – its fruit, aromas, colours and warming spices.

It is also an example of a Polish approach to the gin category, where classic technique and a juniper-driven character provide the starting point for creating more local and original recipes.

Why is Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal a unique edition?

Autumnal was created as a limited edition of just 300 bottles. This makes it more than simply another variant of the core gin – it is a specific project inspired by a particular place, season and selection of local ingredients.

Its greatest curiosity is the combination of elements that might initially seem far removed from classic gin. Juniper and pink pepper meet apples, cinnamon and a note of apple pie, creating a profile that is simultaneously forest-like, fruity, herbal and spicy.

Interestingly, this composition was very well received at the Warsaw Spirits Competition 2024, where Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal Szczecin Edition received 91.43 points.

Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal – Polish autumn in a glass

Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal is a gin that is difficult to confuse with a classic, one-dimensional juniper composition. Its character is created by forest and herbal botanicals, sweet apples, pink pepper and warming cinnamon. The overall profile moves from fresh, juniper-led aromas to a spicy, fruity-herbal finish.

If you are looking for similar options, also explore the gin category, where you will find both classic London Dry styles and more experimental and flavoured interpretations of this spirit.

It is also worth exploring the other spirits category, where you will find a wide selection of spirits with an unusual and craft character.

Heritage Classique Gin Autumnal 0.5L is a proposition for those who want to discover Polish gin from a completely different perspective – with aromas of juniper and forest, sweet apples, pink pepper, cinnamon and a distinctive note of apple pie. This limited edition is particularly well suited to autumn gatherings, tastings and as a base for an aromatic Gin & Tonic.
