Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright orange blossom and coriander — very inviting and decidedly contemporary, citrus-forward with multiple orange varieties creating layered aroma

Palate

Bright with a melange of citrus — tangelo, orange, and Mineola mandarin, mid-palate shifting as juniper and warm Pfeffernüsse cookie spice arrive, the five distillations creating smoothness, citrus-forward but with classic botanicals in support

Finish

Grapefruit rind and mild warmth — clean and moderate, the citrus lingering, nutmeg and angelica providing gentle spice, accessible and refreshing

Expert Review

7/10

Larios has been crafting gin in Málaga since 1866, launched by the third Marquis of Larios in 1932. Number one gin in Spain and continental Europe. Larios 12, launched in 2009, is their premium expression: twelve botanicals five times distilled, dominated by Mediterranean citrus — lemons, oranges, Haitian bitter oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, lime and orange blossom. Owned by Beam Suntory since 2005. Bright citrus-forward contemporary style.
