Producer history Crespo

The recipe associated with the Crespo name comes from the Crespo family (documented origins in Uzhupud, Azuay province) and commercial production started in the 2010s: the modern company history describes the recovery of the family formula and the commercial launch of the gin beginning in 2016, followed by expansion into European and US markets.

Production philosophy

Focus on small-batch production with attention to the origin of the water (Andes) and the selection of botanicals; the approach emphasizes artisanal care and quality control to position the product as a premium Ecuadorian-origin gin.

Territory

Ecuador (Andes) — origins and the formula linked to Uzhupud (Paute, Azuay province); commercial production/bottling and company activities refer to facilities/locations connected to Guayas province (Durán/Guayaquil) for the industrial and commercial phases.
