Dry Gin 'Clasica'

Dry Gin Clasica Condesa
  • Micro-batch gin crafted in Mexico City by Condesa Gin
  • Made in collaboration with women-owned-and-operated micro-distillery Flor de Luna
  • Mexico-sourced base spirit distilled from corn, rye, wheat, and barley
  • Botanicals are sourced in Mexico and include juniper, palo santo, sage, jasmine, coriander, elderflower, lavender, rosemary, cedron, myrrh, lime & orange peels
  • Distilled on two 400-liter copper pot stills that were manufactured in Mexico for Flor de Luna
  • A two-day maceration of juniper, sage, coriander, elderflower, lavender, rosemary, cedron, lime & orange zest is run on one of the two stills to create a botanical concentrate which is then brought to proof with water and alcohol. Separately, a tincture is made from palo santo, myrrh, and jasmine so that these flavors can be incorporated to exact balance.
  • A base of juniper, jasmine, and sage is complemented on the mid-palate by the citrusy, faintly confectionary wood of the Palo Santo tree
  • 43% ABV

Inspired by local curandera (healer) traditions, Condesa Clásica incorporates botanicals traditionally used to cleanse negative energy, attract love, and expand consciousness. This small-batch gin speaks uniquely to its Mexican heritage while still offering an intuitive substitute for a London Dry Gin in classic cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Condesa Clásica Gin expands on a powerful botanical base of juniper to explore distinctly Mexican aromatics and spiritual traditions. Distilled using copper pot stills and built upon a Mexican-sourced neutral grain distillate of corn, rye, wheat, and barley, Clásica uses thirteen botanicals including juniper, palo santo, sage, jasmine, coriander, elderflower, lavender, rosemary, cedron, myrrh, lime & orange zests to echo the curandera (healer) traditions that use many of these same ingredients to cleanse negative energy, attract love, and expand consciousness. Jasmine, sage, and the citrusy, faintly confectionary wood of the Palo Santo tree dominate this unique yet approachable gin. 43% ABV.

"From Mexico City, this gin uses a corn, wheat, rye, and barley-based distillate as its base. Thirteen ingredients make up the botanical bill, with palo santo, jasmine, elderflower, and lavender bringing a new take to the classic London Dry style. Citrus-forward, with sprays of ocean water and vibrant juniper, turn to this for your next Negroni or G&T."
