Ceder’s Gin is a brand of non-alcoholic gin that was created by husband and wife team Craig Hutchison and Maria Sehlstrom. Ceder’s recipe has been developed by distilling classic gin botanicals like juniper, coriander, cardamom, and citrus, with more exotic botanicals like rooibos and buchu, sourced from the Cederberg Mountains of the Western Cape in South Africa – where Ceder’s gets its name. The resulting liquid is then blended with pristine Swedish water to create a non-alcoholic gin that has all the flavor and complexity of a traditional gin, without the alcohol content.
Craig and Maria are originally from South Africa, but moved to Sweden in 2015 with the idea of creating a non-alcoholic gin that captured the taste and essence of the Swedish landscape. Craig has a background in the spirits industry, having worked for a number of well-known brands such as Diageo and Bacardi. He also has experience in product development and innovation, which he used to develop the Ceder’s Gin range. Maria has a background in marketing and branding, and played a key role in developing the branding and packaging for Ceder’s Gin. She also works closely with Craig on the creative and strategic aspects of the business.
Together, Craig and Maria were inspired by the natural beauty of Sweden, with its forests, lakes, and wildflowers, and they wanted to create a gin that captured the essence of this landscape. They spent two years developing the Ceder’s Gin range, using a combination of traditional and modern techniques to create a unique taste and aroma, and in 2017 launched their business.
Ceder’s Gin comes in four different flavors: Classic, which has a traditional gin taste; Crisp, which has a fresh and citrusy taste; Wild, which is made with botanicals inspired by the Swedish forest and Pink Rose, which is a fruity and floral gin.
One of the benefits of Ceder’s Gin is that it can be enjoyed by those who choose not to drink alcohol, or who are unable to consume alcohol due to health reasons or medication. It has no sugar and zero calories, making it a great option for those trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
