Kako Gin

Inspired by a Maltese International Opera Singer...KAKO Gin is truly a Gin like no other.

​Vapour infused, KAKO Gin is surely distinct as one of the only Dry Gins in the world distilled with Persimmon thus far. Adding those special Maltese Mediterranean botanicals this Gin sings wonders with its unmistakably 'Inimitable Tang'.

Kaki or Persimmons as they are known in the West have an unmistakable taste like no other fruit. They have a silky,

slippery texture and taste kind of like the fabulous fruity love child of a mango and a roasted sweet pepper, with a hint of cinnamon in the background. They are rich, tangy and sweet, creating a harmony of flavours. Some of our Mediterranean varieties produce the most succulent and tasty flavours of this beautiful fruit.
Kaki has been loved by many all over the world for thousands of years. In some regions it is also seen as a sacred fruit. It is loved in various parts of the world and has recently grown in popularity in less warmer climates. Over 10,000 people every year flock to Indiana USA to enjoy their renowned Persimmon Festival. Persimmon or Kaki are taken to new heights, where locals compete by creating a vast range of culinary treats. Using Persimmon to create some delicious pies, sweet bakes, jams and many other savoury combinations. Persimmon Gin still seems to be rare as Gold dust, so it seemed fitting to bring this glorious fruit to its full potential by giving it its rightful place in one of the world’s most sought after alcoholic beverages. And what better debut for Kaki than to be the main protagonist of a truly refreshing Mediterranean Dry Gin!
