Alkkemist Gin is a luminous, Mediterranean-born spirit that blends poetry and precision. Crafted from a triple-distilled grain base and an orchestra of 21 botanicals, it layers bright citrus, coastal samphire and floral Muscat grape elegance over classic juniper. Distilled only under the full moon and bottled by hand, this contemporary gin feels both mystical and meticulously made — smooth, fragrant and irresistibly modern in the glass.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Fragrant citrus and juniper rise first, with gentle rose, fennel and herbs in the slipstream. The palate is satin-smooth: lemon and orange peel, thyme and samphire over a juniper backbone, lifted by Muscat’s floral grace. A long, graceful finish lingers with coastal freshness and soft spice.

Craftsmanship & Story
Distilled just twelve times a year at the full moon, Alkkemist marries traditional copper-still technique with a fourth, delicate heart cut. Muscat grapes are added post-distillation for a signature floral lift, while every bottle is sealed by hand — a ritual of patience, precision and Mediterranean artistry.
Special Features
First gin to unite coastal samphire with Muscat grapes, Alkkemist captures sea breeze freshness and perfumed finesse. The full-moon schedule adds romance to rigour, delivering a gin that feels rare, modern and unmistakably Mediterranean.
