A good gin can only come from its homeland Great Britain? Wrong thought, one would now say, because more and more companies from other countries are trying their hand at gin production: With success!

Recently it has become apparent that the Spanish can also produce excellent gin. Ginself, a gin from Valencia, shows the connoisseur a rather subliminally Mediterranean gin, but one that is produced with a great deal of dedication and attention to detail.

Ginself Gin

A lot of the work is still done by hand and so this is an absolute premium gin, because a maximum of 500 liters are produced in each batch. This takes place in a historic facility that dates back to the 18th century.
The raw alcohol for Ginself is distilled from beets in which the botanicals are then soaked for 24 hours. The distillery draws the water used to make the gin from the springs of the Sierra de España.
The company deliberately avoids frills when selecting botanicals and instead relies primarily on sun-drenched citrus fruits, for which the southern state is also known. The focus is on orange blossom, bitter oranges and tangerines. In addition to the classic botanicals such as angelica root, whose Mediterranean roots also come from Valencia or Sicily, tiger nuts are also used in Ginself, creating slightly nutty, tart tones.

The taste

On the nose, a very fresh, fruity aroma of aromatic tangerines and orange blossoms. The aroma is filled with spicy and floral notes.

In terms of taste, Ginself offers a soft and mouth-filling gin. Strong citrus notes mixed with light earthy tones fulfill the expectations that you already had in your head when you opened the bottle.
The finish then offers a long-lasting freshness that reminds you for a while of the citrus fruits that were used here. You should definitely try this gin neat, but it can also be served excellently as a gin & tonic, which is particularly suitable for fans of more fruity tones. Now also as a miniature.
