Nordés is Galicia’s very own premium gin, which was created as a celebration of its native land and has quickly become a revolutionary gin, taking the familiar to the next level with its authentic feel and exquisite flavour. Nordés is named after the wind that heralds the arrival of fine weather in Galicia.
The story of Nordés, Galicia's own gin, began with a group of friends and a bowl of octopus. As they nibbled on this traditional Galician delicacy, the renowned sommelier and winner of the Nariz de Oro Awards 2004, a Galician winemaker and master distiller, talked about a Galician gin made from local ingredients that is truly different from other gins. After many grueling hours and failed attempts, they finally found the perfect combination of ingredients that captured the essence of Galicia and what we know today as Nordés.
The albariño grape, native to Galicia, makes Nordés an exceptionally easy-to-drink gin. The fruity notes and smooth aroma of the grapes combine with a selection of carefully macerated botanicals to create an unparalleled gin. The result is a perfect fusion of Galician and world flavours. The botanicals used in Nordés are sage, bay leaf, lemon verbena, eucalyptus, peppermint, glasswort, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus, black tea and, of course, juniper.
