Aurantia Gin

Robin Tucek, the man behind acclaimed whisky bottler Blackadder, wanted a gin that could match his own precise, whisky-trained palate. He found the solution in Holland, where his specifications became Aurantia, a gin in an unusual pale pink hue, naturally colored by orange and other citrus fruits. It's a gin made by a whisky man who refused to compromise just because he switched categories.

About Aurantia

Aurantia is a Spanish-Dutch-named gin whose name comes from the Latin word for orange, known for its distinctive color. The gin is distilled to specifications from Robin Tucek, owner of the acclaimed whisky bottler Blackadder, giving Aurantia an unusual background for a gin. For beginners, the pale orange hue and citrus-forward flavor make an approachable, fresh introduction to flavored gin, while connoisseurs appreciate the connection to the Blackadder name, otherwise known from the whisky world rather than gin.

History & Background

Aurantia was created to specifications from Robin Tucek, owner of the acclaimed Scottish whisky bottler Blackadder, who wanted to bring his precision from the whisky world into a gin. Production takes place in Holland, where Tucek's specifications were translated into a gin using juniper, orange, and other citrus fruits as core ingredients. The combination of citrus fruits gives the gin its distinctive pale orange to pink hue, a visual signature that sets Aurantia apart from most other gins on the market. The story of Aurantia is therefore also the story of how a whisky connoisseur's palate found its way into an entirely different spirits category.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled with juniper and orange along with other citrus fruits, giving it its pale pink/orange hue.

Signature Style

Citrus, Sweet, Fresh
The taste offers a citrus-driven, fresh character with a light sweetness.
