Condesa Clasica Mexican Gin (75cl, 43%)

Condesa Clasica Mexican Gin is a Mexico City extra dry gin distilled at Flor de Luna in Mexico City at 43% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It is made with 12 botanicals, led by palo santo and myrrh, over a firm juniper core. The botanicals are macerated in grain alcohol for two days, then distilled in a copper pot still. The resinous botanicals are also distilled as separate concentrates so the master distiller can fine-tune each batch. The gin is named for Mexico City's Condesa neighbourhood and celebrates Mexican flora and curandera traditions. The brand describes firm juniper at the core, elevated by spicy and floral tones, with dry, earthy sage and citrus-like palo santo. It is herbal, floral and citrusy throughout, with a warming, meditative and bitter finish from palo santo and myrrh.
