Gin Mare isn’t just a gin—it’s a sensory journey through the Mediterranean. Distilled in a small seaside village on the Costa Dorada in Spain, this elegant gin captures the essence of the region’s coastal herbs, citrus groves, and sun-warmed olive orchards. Its distinctive botanical blend features Arbequina olives, rosemary, thyme, basil, and Spanish citrus, offering a flavor profile that leans savory, herbal, and refreshingly complex.
More than just a spirit, Gin Mare is a celebration of Mediterranean lifestyle and cuisine: relaxed, flavorful, and best enjoyed in good company.
At The Bourbon Concierge, we offer select expressions of Gin Mare, ideal for drinkers seeking something beyond traditional London dry profiles. Whether you’re crafting an upscale G&T or a thoughtful apéritif, Gin Mare brings depth and distinction to every pour.
A Unique Botanical Blend
What sets Gin Mare apart is its thoughtful use of culinary herbs and regional ingredients, which are individually distilled to preserve their aromatic purity. The base is made from neutral grain spirit, but the flavor comes entirely from whole botanicals, many of which are more commonly found in the kitchen than in the distillery.
Key botanicals include:
- Arbequina Olive – Delivers a subtle, savory smoothness and natural salinity.
- Rosemary & Thyme – Earthy and aromatic, adding a woodsy herbal lift.
- Basil – Provides a bright, peppery note that lingers on the finish.
- Seville Orange & Lemon Peel – Lends acidity and freshness without dominating the palate.
- Juniper – Present but not overpowering; it balances rather than defines the blend.
This combination results in a gin that is more culinary than botanical, making it especially versatile for creative cocktails and elevated food pairings.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Herb garden in bloom—basil, rosemary, and lemon zest rise first, with hints of brine and pine.
- Palate: Rounded and savory, with soft olive, cracked pepper, and subtle citrus over a backbone of gentle juniper.
- Finish: Long, dry, and refreshing with a clean herbal echo.
Gin Mare is best served over ice with Mediterranean garnishes—think rosemary sprigs, orange peel, or fresh basil—or enjoyed in a crisp Martini with a lemon twist or olive.
