Our story
Welcome to YANKO GIN, the latest venture by 7Hills, nestled in the heart of Montenegro’s pristine landscape.
The story of YANKO GIN begins in the historic region of Jankovic Krs, where 7Hills acquired a pristine portion of land to develop an eco-friendly project, nestled on the border of Skadar Lake National Park.
As we embarked on this journey to create a sustainable haven, we discovered the land’s hidden treasures: wild juniper trees and a variety of botanicals, including rosemary, lavender, wild mint, and wild pomegranate.
These native ingredients inspired us to create a unique line of spirits and liqueurs that capture the essence of our land.
Heritage and Tradition
YANKO is inspired by the name Janković, a name that represents both the family and the land. For over 500 years, the Janković family has cared for and nurtured this territory, preserving its natural beauty and heritage.
This deep-rooted connection to the land is the foundation of Yanko, embodying the spirit and tradition of Montenegro in every bottle.
A Modern Distillery with a Historical Soul
We produce our gin at our 7hills distillery in Podgorica, utilizing the latest technology.
Our state-of-the-art still from Desa Subotica features two distillation columns, allowing us to create a premium quality London Dry Gin
From Land to Bottle
The abundance of juniper trees in Jankovic Krs and the village near Žabljak inspired us to create a London Dry Gin.
With our team of experts, we have developed three unique gin formulas, incorporating botanicals sourced directly from our land.
Yanko: The Spirit of Montenegro
Yanko London Dry Gin, housed in a distinctive black bottle inspired by Montenegro’s moniker “Black Mountain,” embodies the spirit and resilience of our country.
