Porfidio Agave Dry Gin is an unusual gin built on a pure agave distillate base infused with aromatic cacti and agave flowers from the Mexican desert alongside Italian juniper berries, then aged five years in chestnut casks for an exceptionally smooth finish. 47% ABV.

Rather than a neutral grain base, Porfidio distills its gin from agave spirit, giving it a character that will feel familiar to tequila lovers while remaining firmly a juniper-led gin. Agave flowers, tuna (prickly pear) cactus flowers, and pitaya cactus flowers join juniper in the botanical bill, and five years in chestnut-wood casks round it into a smooth sipping or mixing gin.
