The orange blossom added in the last of five distillations is what sets Larios 12 apart from other premium Spanish gins: that final touch of flowering bitter orange brings a freshness and a palate softness that turns the ensemble of twelve selected botanicals into something more than the sum of its parts. At 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle with a Mediterranean character marked by lemon, orange and mandarin citrus, made in Spain.

Serve it in a refined Gin and Tonic with dry tonic and a slice each of lime and orange. The elegant blue bottle makes Larios 12 visually recognisable on the bar shelf, but it is the smooth, citrusy character of the spirit that justifies keeping it as a regular reference.
