Gin Mare (pronounced "mar-ray") is the creation of the Ribot family who have been distilling gin since the 1940's, and trading in wines and spirits as far back as 1835. The pot still used in its creation is located in a chapel in the Spanish fishing port of Vilanova.
Gin Mare was conceived in 2007 by brothers Mark and Manuel Ribot looking to create a new type of gin taking their inspiration from the Mediterranean climate and using local botanicals. The production is an intensive process, using over two tonnes of citrus fruit every year just to produce the peel which is then macerated for a full year before distillation. |
