The story
Founded by four friends passionate about Patagonia (Juan Augusto Chereminiano, Facundo Imas Anania, Bruno Anania and Juan Nielsen), the project began in 2018 with the aim of showcasing local ingredients and producing handcrafted gins that represent the Patagonian territory. Growth moved from a small initial production to international recognition.
Production philosophy
Territorial sustainability and social impact: selection of hand‑harvested Patagonian wild juniper, direct collaboration with local producers, fair‑trade practices and reforestation initiatives. The company is a member of Sistema B and promotes traceable practices (vegan certification obtained in 2024).
Territory
Patagonia (southern Argentina); specific mention of the province of Chubut and locations such as El Bolsón, Lago Puelo and Cerro Dos Picos as territorial inspiration.
