  Martes Santo Flor de Iris London Dry Gin 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 2222786539-10149

  In the last of three distillations, the Martes Santo family adds iris petals to the still. That detail gives Flor de Iris its characteristic colour and its name, which means "iris flower" in Spanish.

  Expert's description

  Martes Santo Flor de Iris is a Spanish London Dry Gin triple-distilled at the family-run Destilerías Martes Santo in Andalusia and bottled at 40%.

  The distillery in the village of Higuera de la Sierra has been family-owned since 1870 and remains one of the few places in Spain where the stills are heated with direct fire and oak wood.

  Flor de Iris is distilled up to three times from finely selected botanicals such as juniper, orange and lemon peel, cassia bark, angelica root and grains of paradise. In the final distillation, iris petals are added, giving the gin its characteristic hue.

  The triple-distillation method makes the gin extra clean and soft, while the iris adds a delicate, powdery sweetness.

  Martes Santo Organic London Dry Gin 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 2222786539-10148

  In the small Andalusian village of Higuera de la Sierra, the Martes Santo family has distilled over a naked flame since 1870. They are among the last in Spain still heating their copper stills with direct fire and oak wood.

  Expert's description

  Martes Santo Organic is a Spanish London Dry Gin distilled at the family-run Destilerías Martes Santo in Andalusia and bottled at 40%.

  The distillery has been family-owned since 1870 and is one of the last active Spanish distilleries still firing its stills with direct flame and oak wood rather than steam or electricity.

  The organic recipe is built on juniper, orange and lemon peel, cassia bark, angelica root and grains of paradise, joined by jasmine flower and walnut from the house's secret recipe.

  The gin is distilled in the classic London Gin style, where all botanicals are added during distillation for a clean, rounded character.

  Palate
