Nordés – Gin & Tonic

Nordés is a Spanish Gin from the Galicia region on the country’s north west Atlantic coast. It uses several local botanicals & comes with natural aromas and exquisite flavours.

On the bottle label is world map that highlights the Galician origin of Nordés and the compass, an expressive symbol that connotes  the Atlantic character.

The base alcoholic drink is the wine distillate that happens to be produced by using a portion of the Galician Albariño grape. To this are added botanicals viz.,sage, laurel, verbena herb, eucalyptus, peppermint, and a type of seaweed called glasswort. All these impart the freshest subtle floral notes and white fruit aromas. The other botanicals such as juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus flower, and black tea contribute subtle secondary notes that balance the final product.
