Description
Porfidio The.Juniper.Tree Kutani Edition Gin – 47% ABV | 750ml
Exquisite, collectible, and unlike any traditional gin, Porfidio The.Juniper.Tree Kutani Edition is a luxurious barrel-aged gin crafted in Mexico and presented in a stunning hand-painted Kutani porcelain bottle. Bottled at 47% ABV in a 750ml format, this rare release combines innovative distillation techniques with exceptional artistry, making it equally prized by collectors and discerning spirits enthusiasts. The gin is distilled from fresh, fermented juniper berries and a selection of unique botanicals, then matured for five years in virgin chestnut barrels, creating remarkable depth and complexity.
Process & Profile
Unlike conventional gin made from neutral grain spirits, Porfidio begins with fresh fermented juniper berries, complemented by botanicals including agave flowers, prickly pear cactus flowers, and pitaya cactus flowers macerated in agave spirits before redistillation. The spirit is then blended with fresh agave stem (quiote) juice and aged in virgin Castanea sativa (chestnut) barrels for five years, imparting elegant toasted wood character while preserving vibrant botanical freshness. The handcrafted Kutani porcelain decanter is individually decorated using Japan's renowned five-color porcelain technique, making every bottle a work of art.
Appearance
Bright golden amber with brilliant clarity, reflecting its extended maturation in virgin chestnut barrels.
