Nordes Gin (1L, 40%)

Nordes combines a base of grain alcohol and Albariño grape brandy with eleven botanicals. The grape brandy contributes to its soft, fruity character. The botanicals are individually macerated in alcohol before distillation, with maceration lasting from a few hours to almost a month depending on the plant, then slowly distilled in copper stills and brought to 40% with water. Six botanicals reflect Galicia's plant life: sage, bay, lemon verbena, eucalyptus, peppermint and samphire, joined by juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus and black Ceylon tea. This 1 litre bottle is presented without packaging.
