Gin Mare

Each bottle of Gin Mare is made at a distillery based in a thirteenth century chapel located in an ancient fishing village between the Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada near Barcelona.

Gin Mare is made using traditional Mediterranean rhythms and techniques, with the sole intention of creating a truly Mediterranean gin. All of this is achieved through a delicate maceration process, the independent distillation of each botanical ingredient and the unmatched experience of the master distiller.

From the old-fashioned to the decidedly modern gin. This is the bartenders favourite, Gin Mare. Gin Mare started making waves in the UK at the beginning of the gin craze and despite the downturn in the gin market, is still a favourite.

Distilled near Barcelona in a thirteenth century chapel, located in an ancient fishing village between the Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada. Gin Mare was certainly the first modern gin I ever came across showcasing a full Mediterranean medley of flavours.

Arbequina olives, thyme, basil, rosemary, Valencian orange peel, Seville orange peel & Seville lemon peel meet the more traditional gin botanicals of juniper berries, coriander seeds & green cardamom.

The result here is a more savoury gin than the Xoriguer. The main flavour profile is that of herbs and spice with the olive coming through as an almost brininess making this the perfect gin for a martini whether you like it dry, wet or even dirty! As a G&T, the recommended serve for this gin is Mediterranean tonic garnished with a sprig of basil and a green olive, in the shop we have the wonderful Franklin & Sons Mallorcan tonic which is magic with this gin.
