Gin Mare Gin is a Mediterranean gin distilled on Spain’s Costa Dorada around four signature botanicals, each sourced from a different Mediterranean country: Arbequina olives from Catalonia, rosemary from Greece, thyme from Turkey and basil from Italy. Juniper, coriander, cardamom and citrus round it out, but the olive and herb character is what defines it rather than the usual juniper-and-citrus formula. It reads savoury rather than sweet or purely botanical. Buyers looking for a gin built for a Spanish-style G&T or a savoury Martini reach for this one.
CHARACTER
Juniper: The base note beneath the herbs on the nose and palate
Fresh Herbs: Rosemary, thyme and basil form the savoury Mediterranean core
Lemon: Citrus peel note on the nose
Eucalyptus: A cooling note through the palate
Cardamom: Warm spice in the finish
Black Pepper: Spice that closes out the finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Spicy and herbaceous, with rosemary, thyme and basil upfront alongside lemon peel and a base of juniper.
PALATE- Full-bodied and savoury, juniper and coriander give way to rosemary, basil, thyme and a note of eucalyptus.
FINISH- Dry and lingering, closing on basil, cardamom and black pepper spice.
