Opa! — A Greek Feast in Gin Form
Burnley's Batch Distillery releases a new, never-to-be-repeated spirit every month — and Opa! is its love letter to Greece. Where most gins chase citrus and juniper, this one goes savory: tomato, olive, and oregano lead a fifteen-botanical bill with chilli and rosemary in support. It's a gin built for the dinner table, not just the G&T. Explore the store's Batch Distillery collection or browse more craft gin.
Tasting Notes
Nose — savory freshness. Palate — a bold, herbaceous dance: tomato and olive savoriness over juniper, lifted by lemon and orange. Finish — incredibly smooth and lingering (Caskers). "A toast to the vibrant flavors of Greece."
How to Enjoy
In a Mediterranean-style G&T with a big sprig of rosemary and an olive — or in a dirty martini where the olive brine plays to the gin's savory side. This is a food gin: serve it with mezze.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Opa! gin taste like?
Savory and herbaceous — tomato, olive, and oregano lead, balanced with lemon, peppers, and orange. It's a bold departure from citrus-forward gins.
Is Batch Opa! a limited edition?
Yes — Batch Distillery releases a new one-off spirit each month, never repeated, so Opa! is gone when the run sells through.
How is Opa! different from Batch L'Chaim!?
Opa! is Greek-inspired and savory (tomato, olive, oregano, 43%); L'Chaim! is a Rosh Hashanah tribute built on apple and honey, kosher-certified, at 42%.
