Estonians have got really passionate about artisan gin distillation, Metsis, Lahhentagge, Junimperium to name some of the brands making the headlines.

Tallinn is home for Junimperium Distillery. Right in the heart of Telliskivi Creative City, a 10-minute walk from old town, you’ll find Junimperium’s bar that serves crafty cocktails, a lot of them gin-based, their own gin, distilled right next door. If you want to learn how exactly the gin you are about to try is made, do book a distillery tour and find out. You might be tempted to buy a bottle to go, not just for the gin, but also for their gorgeous design. The Junimperium team really has an eye for details: juniper wood caps on their bottles!

I’m team Tom Collins, but one thing is for sure, you should not go to Junimperium to have a beer. There are plenty of other places nearby for that, like Pudel Bar or Sip Wine and Beer Shop.
