Despite primarily being a rum distillery, former president of Dictador was fascinated by gin.
The story goes, Dario Parra crafted his own recipe buoyed by inspiration from his trips to London .
Years later, likely seeing the gap in the marker or the wild success of gin around the world, Dictador put his recipe into production.
After distillation, the Ortodoxy Gin is aged in used rum barrels.
At 43 per cent alcohol, this gin mixes well with a wide range of tonics.
Nose: On the nose it displays a balance of the bitterness of the roots, the freshness of the botanicals, the sweet and sour of berries and peels, and the warmth of the spices. The initial aroma is of the juniper and the angelica combined with mint, lemon and pepper.
Palate: In the mouth, the gin is flavourful, smooth, yet sweet and sour with the astringency of classic gin.
Finish: A lingering spice with floral hints throughout which merge to create a classic dry gin.
