Junipero Gin is a celebration of juniper, whose very name pays homage to this fundamental berry used in gin production. Distilled with passion and care in the city of San Francisco, this spirit is presented in an elegant 70 cl bottle, a symbol of quality and sophistication.
Junipero Gin is known for being one of the pioneers of the craft gin movement, having started its production in the late 1990s. This gin is made through an artisanal distillation process, where a selection of over a dozen herbs and spices are carefully chosen and infused to create a distinctive and vibrant aromatic profile.
On the nose, Junipero offers an explosion of pure juniper, followed by intriguing notes of citrus and a touch of exotic spices, promising a lively and full of character tasting experience. On the palate, the dominance of juniper is confirmed, accompanied by a complexity of flavors that includes coriander, cassia, and a slightly peppery finish that underscores its robustness and persistent freshness.
With an alcohol content of 49.3%, Junipero is robust and bold, ideal to be enjoyed neat, with ice, or as a superior base for cocktails requiring a well-defined character gin, like the classic Martini or a sophisticated Gin and Tonic.
For gin lovers looking for a bottle that offers a story of craftsmanship, depth of taste, and a connection with the traditions of the spirit, Junipero Gin represents an excellent choice, providing a tasting experience that respects and celebrates the essence of juniper.
