DHV Destilados

DHV Destilados was established in 2010 with a clear mission to create exceptional spirits that reflect the local culture and ingredients of Valencia. The founders recognized a gap in the market for high-quality, craft spirits, leading them to invest in a distillation facility that would produce premium products. The first bottle of their flagship N Gin VLC was officially launched in 2012, marking the beginning of their journey in the competitive craft distilling industry. Since its inception, DHV Destilados has achieved significant milestones, including product expansions into various types of gins and vodka, each characterized by unique blends and local influences. The introduction of Raingin Strawberry Gin showcased the distillery's dedication to innovation and creativity in spirit crafting. Their rise in popularity can be attributed to both their commitment to quality and their effective branding, which emphasizes local ingredients and Valencia's cultural heritage. As the craft spirits industry has grown, so has DHV Destilados, continually adapting and responding to consumer trends while maintaining high production standards. Their efforts have been recognized through various awards, reflecting their stature as a respected distillery in Spain and abroad.

DHV Destilados is situated in the heart of Valencia, specifically in the town of Utiel, encompassed by a landscape that benefits from Mediterranean climate characteristics. The warm, dry summers and mild winters in this region provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of the botanicals and grains essential for their spirits. The proximity to local farms means that high-quality, fresh ingredients are readily accessible, allowing the distillery to maintain its commitment to using local produce. The geographical setting also plays a role in the flavor profiles of DHV’s spirits. The soil richness from the region contributes to the distinctive taste found in their gins and vodka, with local citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons being prominently featured in their recipes. Additionally, the distillery's location provides picturesque views of surrounding natural landscapes, which inspire the team to produce spirits that evoke the beauty of their environment. Being near water sources also aids in the distillation process, as high-quality water is pivotal to producing clean and flavorful spirits. The combination of favorable climate conditions, fertile soils, and access to fresh local botanicals positions DHV Destilados not only as a craft distillery but as a proud ambassador of its Valencian heritage.
