Mataroa Mediterranean Dry Gin

700 ml / 41.5%

New Western

$55

A Mediterranean roll-call in a glass: orange, lemon and mandarin peel up front, lavender and chamomile blooming behind, then bay and resinous mastic for grip. Liquorice lends a quiet sweetness underneath. Built in the Ionian on Greek botanicals, it finishes citrus-fresh with a soft herbal hum.

Description

Mataroa comes from the Melissanidi Distillery in Greece, named for the Mediterranean it draws its character from. The botanical bill is generous and distinctly southern: juniper and angelica anchor a spread of lavender, coriander, orris, bay leaf, liquorice, three kinds of citrus peel, chamomile and the prized resin of mastic. Each one is distilled with care so its voice stays legible in the blend.

The nose is citrus-bright, orange and lemon and mandarin lifted by floral lavender and chamomile, with a light spice from bay and mastic. The palate balances that freshness against herbal warmth and a subtle liquorice sweetness, closing long and clean with a soft herbal note. Pour a G&T with premium tonic and a slice of grapefruit, or let it carry a Negroni.
