Erik is the face of Hendrick’s Gin in Asia, a Swede who fell in love with the Scottish gin and roams the archipelagos and continents of Asia, sharing with premium gin drinkers and their bartenders the intricate qualities of this most unusual gin.
Based out of Hong Kong – the Pearl of the Orient – Erik can be found in the most eccentric bars and speakeasies across the region, finding new ways to celebrate the unique rose and cucumber-infused gin in subtle and complex concoctions.
Having started his love affair with spirits as a bartender in his hometown Uppsala in Sweden in 1998, Erik now has more than a decade of experience in the industry, and his career is studded with titles from numerous cocktail competitions on both the national and international level.
His love for travel and adventure brought him to London in 2006, where he spent two years as part of the bar team at The Bar at The Dorchester; arguably one of Europe’s most established hotel bars.
Armed with a degree in Mandarin, Erik then spent 2008 on a year-long adventure opening a nightclub in Shenzhen, China. Most recently, he worked as a senior consultant at the Stockholm based international beverage consultancy company Liquid Management.
Through the years, Erik has developed a wealth of knowledge in classic mixology, service and product knowledge, which he now brings with him on his travels to exotic locales in the region. In this time, Erik also developed an interest in the art of distillation and the wonderful world of botanicals.
When not visiting distilleries and deepening his knowledge about spirits, this adventurous Swede enjoys hunting and fishing in the great outdoors.
