Ingredients: juniper, coriander seeds, mandarine peel, immortelle, fig leaves
The idea for this gin came from smells that fill the air by the coast of Cape Kamenjak, a protected landscape very close to our distillery, in the summer. We wanted to create a scent that evokes a walk down this coast- a mix of juniper, figs, and immortelle, the plants that grow wild by the sides of the roads, and in between the rocks.
To the nose, juniper and fresh mandarine notes come forward, followed by floral notes of immortelle, and herbal, woody notes of the fig leaves. Almost the same happens on the palate, with the freshness of the citrus and coriander and resin-flavor of the juniper, accompanied by the sweetness of fig leaves, and herbal, floral notes of immortelle left in the aftertaste.
We used handpicked Istrian juniper berries, biological mandarine peel from the Neretva valley in the south of Croatia, biological Italian coriander seeds, and immortelle and fig leaves handpicked in Istria. Citrus peel and the herbs that we use are fresh, as opposed to widely used dried botanicals, giving this gin exceptional freshness and an explosion of flavors, so true to the original flavors of these herbs and citrus.
The labels come in four shapes as symbols of our environment: a wave, a salt crystal, a northern wind ("bura" in Croatian, omnipresent in Premantura), and a pine cone. Monachus symbol is hand-printed on each label, thus the slight variations in color and position.
