Product description

LONDON TO LIMA - GIN - 0,50L - PERÚ

A full-bodied fusion of floral grape notes, mountain herbs, citrus and pink pepper.

It's all in the base! Our gin is made from Quebranta grapes, the processing of which has been perfected over centuries to make the iconic Peruvian spirit, Pisco! We select the grapes, ferment the Pisco and distill it. The base spirit, which is then rectified from Pisco, gives the gin a unique flavour and adds a modern twist to a long-standing tradition.

A quick history lesson to understand why we use Pisco as the base for our gin: Originally, botanicals were used to mask the flavour of poorly fermented and distilled base spirits, when in fact the botanicals offered medicinal benefits. As time and technology improved, distillation techniques improved and legislation provided a higher quality base spirit. The abundance of grain in the UK led to the obvious decision to use it as the base spirit. Neutral grain-based spirits contain 96% ethanol, leaving 4% for water and other flavourings.

While studying for an MBA, Alex considered importing Pisco to the UK. Unless you'd been to Peru, he realised that people aren't naturally drawn to it. He saw an opportunity to repeat history and develop a new use for this fabulous spirit. The oldest known recipe for gin dates back to 1495 and is based on a grape-based spirit. Pisco has such great flavours, why distill them? After many attempts to perfect the balance of flavours, Alex separated out the flavours he thought would work well with the botanicals, creating this unique spirit.
