Gin Mare

Gin Mare (pronounced mar-ray) is a blend of ingredients crafted to capture the essence of the Mediterranean. This premium gin is unique in its four principle botanicals; the arbequina olive from Spain, thyme from Greece, basil from Italy and rosemary sourced from Turkey. Each botanical is steeped during a period of more than twenty-four hours and then individually distilled to create a versatile full-bodied gin with notes of juniper, balanced with aromas of tomato plants and olives.
