Cypriot Angelica Blue Gin 700ml

$118

A Blue Gin with a Twist

The inspiration for Angelica Blue comes from Cyprus’ rich and lush citrus fruit orchards.

With a combination of 10 organic, local hand-picked botanicals, and spices with local citrus fruit and a flower from the Far East adding a note of mystery and surprise!

Angelica Blue is sourced, produced, distilled, and bottled in Cyprus. It's a gentle, complex, and aromatic gin, with a citrus fruit beginning and a long, complex botanical finish giving it a balanced 3-dimensional character. Angelica Blue is a gin with a twist! It has a blue colour that transforms into pink when tonic is added to it!

Strength: 43% ABV | Bright Blue 

Nose: First the freshness of citrus. Lime and lemon with a strong undertone of juniper. There’s herbal spiciness at the back.

Taste: The citrus immediately gives way to a boost of herbs. Rosemary and thyme combine with the juniper, with a slight hint of lavender. But before it becomes too complex the citrus comes back with a surprising freshness.

Finish: Long and complex. Citrus and spice keep changing positions, but the juniper makes sure it all stays in place. In the end, a certain earthiness can be discovered like the gin is finally resting after this Mediterranean dance.

With Tonic: Mixing with tonic turns this gin into something else. The citrus freshness rises to the top to combine with the sparkling character of the tonic. Then the spices combine with the quinine to pack a real punch.

Add one of our cocktail mixers or spoon sweets and you will have all the elements for creative cocktail making.

The Aristides Distilling Journey

The story of Aristides Distilling begins not in Cyprus, but in the rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri. Around 2008, co-founder Aris Aristidou joined forces with Jim Blansit to establish the first craft distillery in the Ozarks since Prohibition. Their passion and dedication quickly earned recognition, landing them **three prestigious spirit awards** from the American Distilling Institute. In 2013, Aris and Jim were joined by co-founder Marianna Ktoridou Aristidou, who helped expand the distillery’s success, distributing an impressive range of whiskeys and rums across the state.  

In 2016, Aris and Marianna returned to Cyprus, ready to bring their expertise home and embark on an exciting new chapter. After two years of meticulous research, planning, and overcoming challenges, Aristides Distilling came to life in early 2019, officially beginning operations on January 1, 2020.
