Breaking into the liqueur and gin market in 2017, Procera Gin is a one-of-a-kind, hand crafted, artisanal sipping gin.

The bottle for Procera Gin (SGD $110 per 50cl bottle) itself is special, hand-made entirely in Nairobi, Kenya. The artisan craftsmen of Kitengela Hot Glass Team from Anselm Croze Studios hand-blow each glass bottle, using 100% recycled glass. The hardwood bottle stopper is made from gingerbread tree / doum palm, by master carpenter Mark van Rampleberg and his team from Rampel Designs.

Procera Gin (SGD $110 per 50cl bottle) has a unique, yet familiar note. It has a clear transparent colour, with a smooth balanced body. It tastes bright and refreshing, with good herbal earthy sweet flavour, and a lingering spice finish. The essence is derived from high-altitude African juniper / juniperus procera, grown around 1,500m above sea level or more in Kenya, whose berries are harvested every August by the Kijabe Forest Trust, then flash frozen. These are blended with a tiny batch of dried European juniper / common juniper.

Other key African botanicals include pixie tangerine zest and dried Swahili lime from Kenya, acacia honey from Somalia, cardamom and mace from Zanzibar, pink peppercorn / baie rose (a type of berry, not pepper) from Madagascar, and coriander and orris root from Morocco. The final of the 10 botanicals is selim pepper / grains of selim from Sierra Leone, a spice often used as a pepper substitute, with an unusual musky, woody, and peppery spice flavour, giving this beverage its distinctive finish.

Gin Description

10 African Botanicals

The Procera Gin is proudly distilled in small batches of around 200 bottles or so, by the godfather of the African craft distilling movement, Roger Jorgensen, using a Mueller 230l pot still. I had the rare opportunity to sample some of this lovely gin, and I now understand why it's an award-winning sipping gin... it's just so good. Each bottle holds a quantity equivalent to about 20 average shots.
