NEW IN STORE: The Handcrafted Gins from the North of Portugal

Portugal isn’t a country that’s normally associated with gin but, over the past few years, gin has become a regular feature on bar menus across the country.

Although it is not new among us. It has been on the market for many years, even under Portuguese brands that made history here, the drink and the whole show off around it are much more recent. And Portugal did not miss this new wave in the beverage industry, so if you haven’t heard about it, we selected some gins from the north of our country to present you today in our post.

Made of alcohol and botanicals, the gins here have a more handmade approach, that’s what differs from a large scale production, every detail counts and the botanic are chosen carefully to deliver the best experience for those who are willing for new experiences.

That’s the case of the Mui Gin from Douro region, by the hands of a well-known cooking chef, Hélio Loureiro. The base of the recipe dates from 1873 and has now been improved, spent so long with aromas of herbs and spices turning it into a "modern" Gin. Seven times distilled with the presence of cloves and cinnamon, bottom of the mouth with Moscatel grapes nectar, plains herbs and Lusitanian hills.

Now going to the Vinho Verde region, well known for its white wines, the Valley Gin was the first one from this region and it is produced by hand from 7 individual distillations with 9 botanists and reflects the passion for Serra do Gerês. Highlighting the main juniper, peppermint, St. John's wort, orange, all with individual maceration, 100% handmade, it results in a floral gin with citrus notes, in perfect communion with the Serra do Gerês landscape.

Along with those, you can also find the Edmund Single Estate Gin, a Reserve Alvarinho, which in fact is a Gin. This limited-production “wine” is the heart and soul of a selection of botanicals and a long process of 7 distillations in ancient copper stills. The result is a product of unusual delicacy, elegance and softness, which reflects, in all its essence, the distinctive floral notes, volume, body and structure of the region's fantastic wine, Alvarinho from Vinho Verde.

Other northern Portuguese Gins that we selected today are the Gina Gin, the Opivm Dry Gin and the Foxtale Gin all from the Vinho Verde region famous for white wines, and the Não Premium Gin from the Douro Valley, land of the Port Wine.
