Botanical Notes: Nordés Galician Gin contains 11 botanicals. Six of the botanicals are native to Galicia and include bay leaf, lemon verbena, mint, eucalyptus, sage, and Salicornia, a type of sea vegetable that gives the spirit its salinity and maritime character. The other five are cardamom, hibiscus flower, ginger, black tea and juniper, lending depth and spice to the profile. Albariño is a large component of the base distillate, contributing to a fresh, smooth, aromatic profile.

Distilling Notes: Each botanical macerates separately before distillation as each requires a different maceration time to achieve its optimum flavor. The base of the gin is a combination of neutral grain spirit and Albariño wine distilled in a copper pot still.

Tasting Notes: A fresh, fruity nose, with citrusy notes from the lemon verbena and Albariño base. Green herbal tones, as well as white fruit aromas and a whiff of sea salt are also on the nose. The palate is fruit-forward and spicy, featuring white peach and the subtle undertone of juniper, with beautiful balance and a smooth profile.

Pairing Suggestions: Nordés can pair well with many foods like tapas, ceviches, sushi, Spanish conservas, and even fresh pineapple.
