Procera Blue Dot Gin

Procera Blue Dot Gin is one of the world’s most luxurious and pioneering gins, distilled in Nairobi with fresh African juniper berries (Juniperus procera) sourced from the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia. This exceptional small-batch gin delivers a distinctive nutty depth, layered with vibrant spice and citrus, all beautifully bottled in hand-blown glass. A rare spirit that redefines premium gin, celebrated by bartenders and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, bright juniper leads with delicate citrus zest and a lightly nutty, herbal backdrop. The palate is elegant, round, and complex — a seamless balance of earthy juniper, warming spice, and restrained citrus, creating a mouth-filling texture. The finish is bold yet refined, long and softly persistent, with subtle woody undertones and savoury intrigue.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 2018 by Guy Brennan, Procera is Kenya’s first premium craft distillery. At its heart is the rare African juniper, growing only at high altitude under the African sun, imparting unique nutty and earthy qualities. Distilled in a bespoke Müller copper pot still, each batch is carefully crafted to preserve freshness and depth of flavour. Every element of Procera celebrates African provenance — from hand-foraged botanicals to the hand-blown bottles made in Nairobi — creating a gin of unmatched elegance and authenticity.

Special Features

Procera is the only gin in the world distilled with fresh African juniper, setting it apart as truly one-of-a-kind. Each bottle includes a vial of botanical salt, designed to enhance a G&T with savoury exuberance. The striking hand-blown bottles, fitted with palm wood stoppers and local leatherwork, reflect Kenyan craftsmanship, making Procera as beautiful to behold as it is to taste.
