Handcrafted with passion, a most gentle and adventurous gin. Mildly complex and fresh, selectively distilled with wild Juniper Berries, Angelica Root, Rosemary, Cardamom Seeds, Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, Orris Root, Licorice Root, Lemon Peel, Bitter Orange Peel, Coriander Seeds and Mastiha, the resin of the native Mastic trees on Chios island, the unique in the world ʻtears of Chiosʼ. Crisp and fresh nose with tender bites of juniper on a subtle backbone of earthy spices and cardamom. Gentle alcohol notes, sweet and floral in the background. Juniper kicks in with a fruity bouquet dancing on a bright citrus tone on the palate. A smooth and adventurous pine and rosemary escort complements a genuinely rich feel. Clean and lively finish, balanced citrus and spicy dryness with a novel and gentle resinous sweetness.
