The world of gin is becoming cluttered and noisy. With the number of producers growing exponentially and each one looking for new flavours brighter colours and even more complicated botanical concoctions some gins on the market have lost the essence of what this spirit truly is. Procera Green Dot is the antithesis of that unsustainable trend.
Winner of a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021 Procera Green Dot eschews those long lists of elaborate ingredients and focuses on a single botanical African juniper (Juniperus Procera). The berries go into the vapour basket in both fresh and dried format as well as the foliage and lightly toasted wood. The complexity – considering it only uses botanicals from the juniper tree – is mind blowing.
Subtle pine sun-warmed earth enlivening petrichor savoury herbs nimble pepper stone fruit creamy vanilla toasted nuts umami tomatillo and something that reminds us of camping in a forest. The texture is fabulously rich and it becomes even richer if you add a little pinch of the African salt that comes with every bottle. This salt mix is made at the distillery and includes matching botanicals in the style of the gin itself helping to take your experience to the next level. And then there’s that bottle a striking objet d’art worthy of housing such an exquisite gin. Handblown by the team at Kitengela Hot Glass and finished with a palm wood stopper a leather grip and no label; this is one bottle that certainly won’t be going in the recycling after it’s done. Maisha marefu! (That’s cheers in Swahili.)
Procera is a proudly African craft gin. Distilled in Nairobi Kenya at 1638 metres above sea level it’s the world’s first gin to use Juniperus Procera – the only indigenous species of juniper anywhere in the southern hemisphere. The berries are picked by hand in the highland forest of Kijabe and they give Procera Gin a nuttiness and earthiness unlike anything you will have experienced before. ‘Procera’ means tall and these juniper trees are giants each one needing to be climbed to harvest the rare berries. The pickers know when the berries are sweet and ripe because the local baboon family start devouring them they just have to get there first.
Master Distiller Roger Jorgensen made the ultimate Martini gin with his Blue Spot. He then followed that with the punchier Red Dot designed for use in your Negroni Red Snapper and Martinez cocktails. Now the limited-edition Green Dot is – in our opinion – the perfect gin for a G&T. But if tonic isn’t your bag then this versatile spirit can be used in any manner of cocktails.
