Dictador Ortodoxy Gin

Aged Gin | NV | 43% | 70 cl | Colombia

A spirit that nods to London’s legacy but speaks with a Caribbean pulse, this gin melds the weight of tropical cane with the sharp clarity of Northern botanicals—juniper and angelica surfacing through a warm, oily current laced with lemon rind, peppercorn, and a whisper of rum’s golden past. What emerges is a liquid paradox: luminous and structured, but threaded with the kind of earthy warmth and spice that lingers, inviting you to pause and explore each sip as though decoding a well-kept secret.

Storage advice

To optimally store Aged Gin and preserve its quality and shelf life consider the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature ideally between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold as fluctuations can cause chemical changes that degrade flavor. Refrigeration around 4°C (40°F) can also be suitable especially for longer preservation.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place such as a cupboard or closed bar cabinet away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can alter the chemical composition and negatively affect the gin's aroma and taste.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. Oxidation can change the flavor and cause aromas to dissipate. Using additional caps or vacuum seals for long-term storage can further reduce air exposure.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright not on their side. This prevents the alcohol from degrading natural corks which could otherwise deteriorate and allow air ingress accelerating spoilage.

- Humidity: Moderate household humidity levels are adequate. Excessive humidity is not required; however avoid storing gin in overly damp environments to prevent label damage or cork mold.

- Storage for Unopened vs. Opened Bottles:
- Unopened: Store as above—cool dark upright sealed.
- Opened: Minimize exposure to air to slow oxidation. Keep the cap tightly on and if possible transfer remaining gin into a smaller bottle to reduce headspace and air contact. Consume within about one year for optimal taste as oxidation gradually diminishes quality over time.

These guidelines collectively ensure that the Aged Gin maintains its intended flavor profile and quality for as long as possible.
