Gin Mare Capri
Gin Mare · Global Premium Brands (Vilanova i la Geltrú)
A graceful, sun-drenched gin that prizes finesse over botanical fireworks — bergamot is the star, and it shines without ever raising its voice. Essential for the Mediterranean-leaning bar.
Nose
Sun-warmed bergamot peel leads, followed by fresh-cut basil, soft juniper, and a whisper of sea-salt minerality. There's a creamy floral lift reminiscent of orange blossom drifting through a coastal garden.
Palate
Silken texture carries vibrant bergamot oil across the tongue, supported by green Arbequina olive, thyme, and rosemary. Juniper sits restrained but present, with coriander and a faint peppery warmth keeping the citrus from turning candied.
Finish
Long, gently bitter citrus pith fades into herbaceous garrigue notes — basil, thyme, and a clean mineral echo, like sea air after sundown.

Cocktail Suggestion
Bergamot Promenade — 2 oz Gin Mare Capri, 0.75 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, 2 dashes orange bitters. Stir over ice 25 seconds; strain into a chilled coupe. Express a fresh lemon peel over the surface and discard.
Food Pairing
Grilled branzino with lemon, capers, and olive oil; or burrata drizzled with bergamot oil and cracked pink pepper.
Crafted by the Ribot family in a former Catalan fishing village, Capri honors the Isle of Capri's prized bergamot, individually macerated and distilled before being married with Gin Mare's signature Mediterranean botanicals.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
