Spanish Gin Production: The Value of Tradition
Spanish gin tradition and production have deep roots that date back several centuries: Spain's historical connection with gin can be traced back to the 16th century when the country engaged in trade with the Netherlands, the birthplace of gin. Spanish sailors and merchants were introduced to this spirit during their voyages, leading to its gradual popularity in Spain, up until today!
When it comes to gin production, Spanish distillers often uphold traditional methods that have been refined over time. Copper stills play a significant role in the distillation process, as they are believed to contribute to a smoother and more refined spirit. The careful selection of botanicals and precise distillation techniques are of utmost importance to achieve the desired flavours and aromas. Find out more at Chilled Wine!
Spanish Gin Distilleries: Famous for Their Excellent Craft
At Chilled Wine we are proud of our selected Spanish gin collection: Spanish distillers draw inspiration from the diverse flora found in different regions of Spain. Each distillery takes advantage of its unique surroundings and incorporates local ingredients to create gins with distinctive flavor profiles. These botanicals could include Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil, or region-specific elements such as juniper berries, wild herbs, citrus fruits, or even eucalyptus, hibiscus, and sage.
Notably, our Cabraboc Gin de Mallorca, which is crafted through the distillation of juniper berries and carefully chosen Mediterranean botanicals like basil, rosemary, thyme, and lavender, will truly delight your senses. Or what about the Hope on Hopkins Mediterranean Gin, which is a triple distilled grape gin, inspired by flavours from the Mediterranean – it's infused with olives, rosemary, basil, thyme and cardamom, with overriding citrus notes and hints of juniper. You have to try it!
