Wint & Lila London Dry Gin

Gin description

Wint & Lila is a brand of gin that Casalbor manufactures in Puerto de Santa María in an over 200 year old distillery. Its name comes from the Compañía de Indias, established in Cádiz in 1646 by Juan de Wint and Margarita de Lila, which was one of the first companies dedicated to maritime trade with America and the East. The distillery has 7 different small alembics, each of which has its own personality that gives the gin special tints, allowing the processing of limited and custom distillations. In its making, a complex five distillation process, 10 botanicals are used and combined: juniper berries, cilantro, angelica, angelica root, cinnamon, orange, lemon and lime peel, mint and orange blossom. In its tasting we can observe that it is clear, clean and sparkly with light and complex fragrances, but the combination of juniper with the freshness of mint and orange blossom stands out; soft and smooth to the palate; refreshing with a hint of herbal and citric aftertaste.
