Alterra Mediterranean Gin- 70cl

Alterra Mediterranean Gin 70 cl

Crafted in Lebanon with passion and precision, Alterra Mediterranean Gin 70 cl is a refined expression of the Eastern Mediterranean spirit. This artisan gin draws from native botanicals—such as wild thyme, sage, citrus peels, and olive leaf—to channel the unique terroir of Lebanon into every elegant pour.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• Distilled in small batches using traditional copper pot stills to preserve botanical nuance.

• Key ingredients include wild Mediterranean herbs, including thyme and sage, hand‑picked citrus zest, and olive leaf, combined with classic gin botanicals like juniper and coriander.

• Distillers emphasize aromatic integrity, carefully layering botanical extraction to maintain brightness and balance.

• Bottled at approximately 42% ABV, encouraging both cocktail creativity and serious sipping.

Aroma & Tasting Profile

• Nose: Herbaceous and fresh—with wild thyme and sage leading, followed by citrus oil and a delicate olive leaf undertone.

• Palate: Crisp and botanical—initial citrus zest gives way to soft herbal spice and gentle juniper echo. The olive leaf lends subtle minerality, and sage rounds the finish with warmth.

• Finish: Medium in length and clean, with sustained herbal resonance and citrus freshness that lingers without bitterness.

Mixology & Cocktail Suggestions

• Mediterranean Gin & Tonic: Highball glass over ice with premium tonic, a slice of fresh lemon, and a sprig of thyme.

• Herb & Citrus Gimlet: Alterra shaken with lime juice and a dash of simple syrup, garnished with lemon zest.

• Sage Sour: Gin, fresh lemon juice, sage-infused syrup, and egg white foam—elegant and aromatic.

• Neat or over ice: To appreciate subtle herb layers and clarity.

Ideal for

• Cocktail lovers seeking Mediterranean flair and botanical complexity.

• Gifting to enthusiasts drawn to regional craft spirits.

What Makes It Stand Out

• Sourced from Lebanon’s natural coastal herbs and citrus orchards—capturing a true sense of place.

• Artisanal and small-batch production ensures consistency and bespoke character.

• Delivers a fresh, green botanical spectrum not often found in more citrus- or juniper-heavy gins.

• Versatile enough for sipping neat and bold enough to elevate contemporary cocktails.

• Reflects Liqir’s ethos of offering unique spirits with authenticity, story, and refined flavor.

Alterra Mediterranean Gin 70 cl is more than a spirit—it’s a sensory passport to the Lebanese coastline. With herbal elegance, citrus brightness, and impeccable balance, it’s an exceptional choice for collectors, cocktail creators, and curious enthusiasts.
