Nordés Atlantic Galician

Step into the Atlantic breeze with Nordés, a unique Spanish gin that captures the essence of Galicia's coastal spirit. This extraordinary spirit stands out in the gin world for its distinctive character and innovative approach to traditional gin-making.

Production

Nordés Atlantic Galician Gin breaks from convention by using Albariño grapes as its base spirit instead of the traditional grain neutral spirit. The gin is infused with 12 botanicals, including six local wild Galician herbs: sage, laurel, verbena, eucalyptus, peppermint, and glasswort. These are complemented by juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus, tea, and black pepper.

Taste Profile

On the nose, expect an aromatic bouquet of white flowers and fresh herbs, reminiscent of a Galician garden after rain. The palate opens with delicate floral notes, leading to refreshing hints of eucalyptus and mint. The finish is smooth and balanced, with subtle maritime minerality and gentle spice notes.

Territory

Galicia, located in Spain's northwestern corner, is known for its rugged Atlantic coastline, lush landscapes, and rich maritime heritage. The region's unique microclimate and botanical diversity directly influence Nordés's character, making it a true reflection of its terroir.

What to Expect

Unlike traditional London Dry gins, Nordés offers a softer, more aromatic experience. Its distinctive white bottle design reflects the fresh, maritime character of the spirit. The gin's unique grape-based spirit and local botanicals create a smooth, approachable profile that works beautifully in contemporary cocktails.
