The story of Larios 12 Botanical Gin

Larios is a Spanish gin brand born in Málaga, and its 150th anniversary edition in 2016 took its design from the original 1866 bottle. Suntory owns it today through Beam Suntory. Larios 12 launched in 2009 and sits in the range alongside Larios Dry Gin and Larios Rosé.

The name is the recipe. Twelve botanicals go in: juniper, coriander, nutmeg, angelica root, Mediterranean lemon, orange, tangerine, mandarin, clementine, grapefruit, lime and orange blossom. The label says it is distilled five times with orange blossom, and that flower is the signature, giving a floral lift over the juniper and the citrus. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

The classic serve is a gin and tonic with a twist of citrus, which lets the orange blossom come forward. The citrus-led profile also suits a gimlet or a gin rickey. Pour a standard measure over plenty of ice and top up with a good tonic.
