Gin Mare (1 L)

This is the gin you reach for when you’re bored of “just juniper.” Made in Spain with a seriously Mediterranean mindset, it brings savoury herbs, bright citrus, and that unmistakable olive vibe that makes your drink taste like it has a point of view.

Where a lot of gin shouts piney and sharp, this one leans into rosemary and thyme, with basil adding a green, almost garden-fresh lift. Then the olive comes in and gives it a lightly salty, sun-warmed edge. It’s the difference between “gin” and “gin with personality.”

• Nose: Fresh rosemary and thyme, a hit of citrus peel, and a subtle briny olive note.
• Taste: Savoury herbs up front (basil, rosemary), gentle juniper in the background, then citrus and olive that make it feel coastal and food-friendly.
• Finish: Long and herbal, with lingering rosemary, peppery spice, and a faint salty snap that keeps you coming back.

This is a go-to for a Gin & Tonic when you want something more grown-up than “lemon wedge and hope.” Think tonic, big ice, and a garnish that plays along, like rosemary, thyme, or a slice of orange. It also absolutely shines in cocktails where gin has to hold its own. Negroni gets more savoury and less candy-like, Martini gets an herb-and-olive direction, and a Gin Sour comes out tasting bright but not basic.

If you like flavour-driven spirits, you’ll appreciate how layered it is. You can pick out the herbal top notes first, then the citrus, then that olive-salty undertone that ties everything together. It’s complex without being hard to “get,” which is kind of the dream.

It’s also a great bottle for hosting because it gives you an easy talking point. People taste it, pause, and go, “Wait, what is that?” That’s the olive and the Mediterranean herbs doing their thing.

One more reason it deserves shelf space, it’s a cocktail workhorse that doesn’t disappear once you add mixers. The flavour stays bold, which means your drinks don’t taste watered down or forgettable.

Fun Fact: The brand’s whole identity is built around Mediterranean botanicals, including olives and kitchen herbs, so it’s basically a love letter to coastal Spain in gin form.
