Really nice, herby piney floral, with a little something extra. Unlike any gin I’ve had, wish I could find it here in the states — 4 months ago

Birthday bottle with Balkan take away from Ambar DC.
Shows why this is still an underrated variety. Both dense, dark and plummy on one hand and a bit leafy/herbal and mineral on the other. It seems to meet somewhere in the Eastern Atlantic between Castilla y Leon and Bordeaux. — a year ago

I feel like I’m standing cliff side overlooking the Atlantic. I can almost feel the mist spritzing my face. Brine and minerals up front. Secondary aromas of stone fruits and sweet-smelling flowers (or is it melon?). Flavors of flint and lemon peel complimented with a beautiful, long acidity.

Nordes gin - Galicia Spain. Think about Rias Baixas (green and rainy, much like Ireland) and San Sebastian coastal village, famous for one of the world's most elegant white wines, Albarino.
Then make a base spirit from Albarino grapes, add 11 botanicals and you get a super cool gin. Flavors of fruit, white flowers, (you can almost taste the Mediterranean salty sea air) If your looking for traditional Juniper berry gin..move on. #NordesGin — 6 months ago

Very nice, well balanced. Should try to drink the night you open as it goes south fast. — 3 years ago

Again, brilliant! Far more Chinon/Old World than 99.5% of the CF in the Mid Atlantic. While bit more body than the ‘16, but day 2 & 3 showed how much potential this has in the cellar :) — 4 years ago

Mostly Tempranillo with a small amount of Graciano, aged in oak for 15 months, from the Rioja Alavesa, where Tempranillo thrives in a microclimate strongly influenced both by the elevation and the proximity of the Atlantic ocean. Deep Ruby with aromas of aromas of red fruits with cedar and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and red plum with vanilla, oak and cacao notes. Fine tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, oak, pepper earthy character. Nice value! — 7 months ago

Atlantic Ocean, lite...Notes tomorrow?

192H Update:
Nose has fully saturated oak plank, moist almonds, incredible sweet & saline notes, fermenting green apples, white chocolate bar, white candle wax and fresh yellow apple slice. Palate has almond broth (does that exist?), dried yellow apple, chamomile tea, moist bread, faint green olive (?) with mild saline finish, faint acidity. Damn I do not drink enough Manzanilla! — 2 years ago

Elegant nose of sour cherries, smoke, bacon, slate, blood. A metallic mineral hint and fantastic acidity that points you in an Atlantic direction. A beauty, at a very affordable price, if you are a Burgundy lover this is Spain’s closest — 3 years ago
