Puerto de Indias give-away entry deadline: Midnight 8th September, 2023
Whoever is responsible for signing up new brands at Love Drinks is on a roll. Last week we brought you the news (and a bottle giveaway) that Ron Matusalem had joined their portfolio, and today it is Puerto de Indias Gin.
The Andalucian brand first started distilling in 2013, and describe theirs as the world’s first strawberry pink gin. Apparently Puerto de Indias was the product of a happy accident, when two Sevillian brothers decided to macerate locally-grown strawberries in alcohol. Not realising the effects that a Seville summer would have on the fruit and liquid, a lush, strawberry pink gin was born.
Based at the Carmona Distillery in Seville, which was founded in 1880 and built by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, the artisan distillery has its own natural spring and uses 200-year-old copper stills that were traditionally used to distil aniseed. Fusing age-old techniques with the latest innovation, the distillery carefully sources and uses the finest locally grown fresh Andalucian strawberries, blackberries, fruits and botanicals.
Samantha Burke, Managing Director of Love Drinks and presumably the aforementioned person who keeps signing up new brands , commented: “It’s a huge honour to be the new importers of a pioneering brand like Puerto de Indias that spearheaded the launch of flavoured gins and has been driving the revolution ever since through its supreme quality, taste-rich range and absolute authenticity. They built the glass ceiling for flavoured gins and have continued to smash it through their ongoing innovation so we’re excited to be workingwith them to drive further growth and success over the coming years.”
