Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin


Tato Giovvannoni

Tato is a true Renaissance man, bartender, painter, singer, soccer player, and artist. Born and raised by the sea in Pinamar which is 250 miles from Buenos Aires. He started working in his father's restaurant at the age of 12.
He never left that world.
The premier mixologist of Argentina. After working in some of the best bars, he moved on to be a consultant for cocktail menus around the world, and ended up having his own place: Florería Altántico. Recently named best bar in Latin America and Caribbean by Drinks International.
It was only a matter of time until he launched his own elixir. Principe is the result of his inspiration, influences and two years of trials and errors until finding the exact expression he was looking for.


The New World Gins are different from the classic London Dry Gins

The New Word Gins move away from the strong wintery flavors of juniper and use it merely as a platform for more regional and contemporary notes.

Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin

An infused spirit distilled in Mendoza, Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin is an autosomal gene that steps away from the conventional, juniper-forward London dry model. It is crafted in small, 200-liter batches in a copper pot still on a foundation of grain neutral spirits. The botanicals used include juniper berries, coriander seeds, Yerba mate leaves, peppermint, eucalyptus and pink grapefruit zest. The botanicals macerated individually, filtered and blended. It expands quickly revealing the flavors of Yerba mate, pink grapefruit, anise, and cinnamon with light juniper notes on the lingering fade.
"Smooth mint nose; aromatic and silky with a recipe that includes eucalyptus coriander, grapefruit, mint and yerba mate; mellow and lush with unique and lovely style; elegant and balanced with a long finish."
