What is the mission of LUKI Gin?

LUKI Gin was created with a greater purpose — to unite. To bring together not just friends and family, but an entire nation. At the heart of every bottle lies the idea of national unity. It’s about connection: a son with his father, a brother with his sister, a conscious individual with their country. It’s also about generating capital to defend our Homeland for as long as needed, and then — to rebuild it.
LUKI Gin is about mindfulness in every action, every choice, every sip. It’s more than a drink. It’s an act of unity, support, and renewal.

How was I born?

I wasn’t born in a sterile lab or a marketing department.
It all began in the Carpathians.My creator, the father of the founder, was searching for a remedy when his wife experienced a flare-up of her pancreas.
The locals shared an ancient recipe for a healing tincture — and that became the starting point.
Upon returning home, the recipe was refined, experimenting with ingredients, nuances of flavor, and texture.That’s how LUKI was born — soft, nurturing, healing, enveloping, and warm.

From the family table — to our own production

After perfecting the recipe, LUKI naturally became a staple at our family table — present at gatherings, birthdays, christenings, and weddings.
At first, this gin was made for ourselves, friends, and family. But demand grew — people didn’t just want a taste, they insisted that this gin be made available to everyone.
This wasn’t a business decision. It was a request from the people. We made a firm decision — there would be no compromises, no shortcuts in production. Only exceptional quality.
After reviewing all the distilleries in the country, we chose one that resonated with our spirit, mission, and met all international quality standards.
LUKI Gin is produced at the cutting-edge Honey Badger distillery — a true benchmark for the Ukrainian alcohol market.

Honey Badger is not just a distillery — it’s a symbol of the evolution of the Ukrainian alcohol market. We entrusted the production of LUKI Gin only to the best specialists because we aim to deliver perfection in every bottle.
