Mediterranean is more than a place, it’s an attitude

This connection to the "Mare Nostrum" or "Our Sea" highlights the shared lifestyle and love for great food and a wonderful climate among the Mediterranean communities.

This super premium gin is a true embodiment of Mediterranean essence, crafted with botanicals sourced from the fertile lands of Greece, Italy, Spain, and France.

The signature flavour of Gin Mare comes from its key botanicals: Arbequina olives, rosemary, thyme, and basil, which lend a distinct and savoury character to this exceptional gin.

Crafting the Exceptional

The Mediterranean distillery is located on a hillside above a thriving fishing port near Barcelona where an 18th Century chapel, housing the still in which Gin Mare was first created.

Gin Mare is crafted using traditional Mediterranean techniques, from selecting premium barley to the delicate maceration and independent distilling of each botanical. The signature blending process allows each ingredient to shine, creating a gin that is both complex and harmonious.

The Unique Botanical Blend

The creation of Gin Mare is a meticulous process that honours traditional Mediterranean techniques. Each botanical is macerated to soften it and release its full flavour before being individually distilled.

This method ensures that the unique characteristics of each ingredient are preserved. The signature blending process, which adjusts for the varying acidity levels of the Arbequina olive each year, allows every botanical to express itself fully in the final product.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Gin Mare created a gin inspired by the iconic Italian island of Capri. With the same key botanicals as Gin Mare, the addition of lemon from the Sorrento peninsula and Italian bergamot lend Capri a citrus note that is emblematic of the Mediterranean.

Tasting Notes: A Journey Through Mediterranean Flavors

Gin Mare combines its four key botanicals with traditional gin ingredients like coriander, cardamom, citrus, and juniper berries. Gin Mare offers a fragrant and aromatic profile with herbaceous notes from thyme and rosemary, balanced by the fresh aroma of basil and the distinctive character of Arbequina olives.

The scent is further enhanced by the perfumed essence of crushed juniper and a hint of pine. This full-bodied gin has a long-lasting finish that marries the zesty flavours of coriander and tart juniper with the savoury green olive, balanced with a hint of black pepper.

Gin Mare, with its unique flavour profile, is an excellent companion for Mediterranean cuisine, a wide range of dishes, from seafood to grilled vegetables, enhancing the overall dining.
