Puerto de Indias Black Gin
Puerto de Indias Black Gin — the Pure Black Edition — is the Seville distillery's dry, floral counterpoint to its famous strawberry gin: 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL, crystal clear and juniper-led. Built on citrus, jasmine and vanilla and inspired by the Andalusian spring, it is made for drinkers who like their gin and tonic stronger and more aromatic. Distilled at Los Alcores de Carmona (est. 1880), it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Spring in Andalusia, Bottled Dry
Where the distillery's strawberry gin is soft and fruit-forward, the Pure Black Edition goes the other way: dry, clear and perfume-bright, bottled at a higher strength than the brand's Classic for a more intense, complex serve. The recipe draws on the scents of an Andalusian spring — orange blossom, jasmine and spring flowers over a firm juniper backbone — from the same Carmona distillery that has been making spirits since 1880.
Tasting Notes
Very floral on the nose, with delicate orange blossom and lemon. The palate brings an abundance of citrus with vanilla notes over dry juniper, before an intense, complex but smooth finish.
How to Enjoy
Build it as a classic gin and tonic with a twist of lemon or orange peel to lift the blossom notes, or use it in a Martini or a white Negroni where its floral dryness stays in front.
