Oaxaca Gin Gracias a Dios

Gracias A Dios Oaxaca Gin is another unique expression from the Gracias A Dios distillery in Oaxaca, Mexico, building on their innovative use of an agave base for gin. While their “Agave Gin” uses 32 botanicals, the Oaxaca Gin distinguishes itself by using only eight botanicals, all sourced from the Oaxaca region, alongside the distilled Espadín agave. This limited botanical selection aims to highlight the terroir of Oaxaca and create a distinct flavor profile. It is bottled at 45% ABV.

Tasting Notes (based on available information):

• Nose: Expect a compelling and aromatic blend where the earthy and slightly sweet notes of agave intertwine with a distinct herbal character from botanicals like dried avocado leaves and yerba santa. Hints of classic juniper are present, along with sweet citrus notes such as orange and tangerine, and a touch of anise. Some also detect subtle notes of dried smoked chiles and chocolate.
• Palate: The palate follows the nose with a complex interplay of flavors. The signature agave sweetness is present, balanced by a green pepper note and classic juniper. You might also find nuances of peach and cocoa, with a subtle smoky undertone.
• Finish: Often described as long and enjoyable, with the herbal notes, subtle smoke, and hints of cocoa slowly fading. It is generally dry with mild acidity and a touch of bitterness.

Awards and Recognition:
