Distiller Notes
An unabashed attempt to bottle sunshine. For their second release, Condesa Gin draws its inspiration from a sunny afternoon in CDMX. Indigenous desert cactus fruit (prickly pear, an emblem of Mexico City) is coupled with the soft and generous aromatics of orange blossom. The additional botanicals of juniper, raspberry, coriander, and lime zest create the feeling that summer itself can be found in your glass. Bright red fruit and lime float in and out of the nose and palate. An ABV of 43% provides backbone but does not overwhelm this incredibly approachable spirit.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
