Galicia in a bottle
The story of Galicia’s very own gin, Nordés, began with a group of friends chatting over dinner and enjoying octopus. One a renowned sommelier and winner of Nariz de Oro (Golden Nose) 2004, another a Galician wine merchant and another a master distiller. The three friends began to dream of a unique gin using Galician ingredients. So, they got to work and after much trial and error, they came across the perfect recipe that captures the essence of Galicia and is what we now know as Nordés Gin.
An iconic bottle
Its iconic white bottle, inspired by the traditional porcelain made by Sargadelos in Galicia, is truly unique thanks to distinctive blue and white design.
Its name also comes from the wind that heralds the arrival of good weather in Galicia.
A symphony for the senses
Nordés is the first premium Galician gin, a product of exceptional quality and a breath of fresh air in the world of gin. It is refreshing, fragrant and well-balanced, a unique gin perfect for accompanying those little pleasures in life.
The secret: a unique base spirit
Much of what makes Nordés Gin unique is its base spirit, made from albariño grapes. This means a smooth aroma with notes of white fruit and flowers, and a gin that is truly pleasant and easy to drink.
Fresh, natural botanicals
Nordés is known for its unique process, which sees each of its 11 botanicals steeped separately. These include 6 botanicals native to Galicia: sage, bay leaf, lemon verbena, eucalyptus, peppermint and salicornia, a marine plant that gives it its characteristic balsamic aroma.
It also features 5 botanicals from overseas – juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus and black tea – which give it delicate notes, creating a perfectly balanced flavour.
A slow and carefully crafted process
Each of the botanicals used in Nordés Gin is steeped separately before distillation. This can range from a few hours to almost a month in some cases, allowing us to create an exquisitely well-balanced flavour and aroma.
This slow, carefully refined process makes Nordés Gin truly unparalleled.
