About the Gin:

Nordés is Galicia’s very own premium gin, which was created as a celebration of its native land and has quickly become a revolutionary gin, taking the familiar to the next level with its authentic feel and exquisite flavor. 

The history of Nordés, Galicia’s very own gin, began with a group of friends and a dish of octopus. Whilst enjoying this traditional Galician delicacy, a renowned sommelier and winner of the Nariz de Oro awards 2004, a Galician winemaker and a master distiller began to imagine a Galician gin which would be made using local ingredients and be truly different from other gins. After much trial and error, they finally found the perfect combination of ingredients, which captured the essence of Galicia, giving rise to what we now know as Nordés. 

Nordés is the first Atlantic Galician Gin, a premium gin with a different flavor which is a breath of fresh air and is revolutionizing the world of gin as we know it. Its fresh, aromatic yet well-balanced character make it a unique gin which truly stands out from the crowd. Like savoring life’s little pleasures? Then Nordés is for you.

Nordés Atlantic Gin is the #1 selling premium gin in Spain, hand crafted with indigenous botanicals grown in the wild forests and coastlines of Galicia. With its aromatic floral and botanical aromas and natural salinity, Nordés is perfect for elegant cocktails and paired with a variety of dishes. 

Nordés is a gin containing 11 botanicals, all macerated and distilled separately. 6 of these botanicals are native to Galicia, including Salicornia, a type of sea vegetable that gives the spirit its salinity and maritime character. Albariño is a large component of the base distillate, giving Nordés a fresh, smooth, aromatic profile. Nordés was developed by a master mixologist and a chef, making it great for pairing with food by design. 

Nordés can play with many foods, but some favorite pairings are: tapas, ceviches and sushi, Spanish conservas, and even fresh pineapple.
