The world of gin is as vast as it is captivating, and few are as qualified to explore its depths as the renowned Spanish-Chilean sommelier, Pascual Ibañez. In a recent tasting, Pascual delved into the essence of three unparalleled gins, each representing the finest qualities of its region and unique botanicals. This selection not only highlights the diversity in gin production but also how terroirs shape flavor profiles that truly capture the essence of their origins.
1. Martin Miller’s Original 40° (London Dry Gin Premium) 🇬🇧
Hailing from the North Atlantic, this British gin is a testament to firmness and purity. With a dry and citrusy profile, Martin Miller’s Original is a London Dry gin crafted with the purest waters from Iceland, filtered through volcanic rocks. Its distinctive character makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a gin with a clear definition and a refreshing finish.
2. Mare 42.7° (Mediterranean Gin) 🇪🇸
The Mediterranean holds a special allure, and Mare Gin captures it perfectly. This Spanish gin offers a smooth and delicate profile, featuring unique botanicals like fresh thyme, olive, and basil. Each batch of Mare highlights the subtle differences of its ingredients, creating a tasting experience that reflects the Mediterranean coast as much as the craftsmanship behind each bottle.
3. Tepaluma 43° (London Dry Herbal) 🇨🇱
And finally, from the remote and majestic Chilean Patagonia comes Tepaluma. This London Dry Herbal gin stands out with its herbal profile enriched with notes of native forest fruits. What truly sets Tepaluma apart is its distillation process, which uses pure glacial meltwater. Every sip is a journey to Southern Patagonia, where untouched nature meets distilling tradition to create a spirit that is both robust and refined.
A Recognition That Fills Us with Pride
We are immensely proud that Tepaluma has been selected for this exclusive tasting. Being compared to gins of the caliber of Martin Miller’s and Mare is a true honor and reinforces our mission to bring the essence of Patagonia to the world. Now, the question is: Which of these gins would you like to try first? 🍹✨
