Procera Red Dot Gin (70cl)

Distilled in Nairobi, Procera is an African gin made only with native botanicals. Its key botanical is the native juniper berry known as Juniper Procera, grown on the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia, with an earthy, nutty character. Other botanicals include pink pepper from Madagascar, coriander, Moroccan iris root, Kenyan green tea, Somali acacia honey, Zanzibar cardamom and Nigerian selim pepper. Red Dot is an annual limited edition of 2,023 bottles, presented in a hand-blown glass bottle. It adds a nineteenth botanical, Poivre Sauvage from Madagascar, to the original eighteen-ingredient recipe, bringing further spice and depth against a saline note from oyster shells and seaweed. On the nose it shows earthy aromas with citrus and floral notes. The palate has smoky and mentholated selim pepper notes, balanced by mace and acacia honey sweetness, and the finish is slightly woody and peppery.
