The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. Nordés takes its name from the north-easterly wind which signals the arrival of good weather in Galicia.

While it may not be to everyone’s tastes – particularly those who are juniper-forward diehards – this is a contemporary-style gin worth shouting about, full of flavour and Galician provenance.Wine spirit, the soul of the gin, is produced by using Galician Albariño grapes, and this distillate is macerated with 11 botanicals, 6 which are native to Galicia, Samphire, Sage Bay, Lemon Verbena, Eucalyptus and Peppermint.

The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England. Made using a pomace from Albarino grapes, the botanicals include juniper, ginger, hibiscus and liquorice, resulting in a unique and intriguing gin.It features a world map, compass rose and all, with a red arrow coming in from the north Atlantic and pointing into Galicia, designed to mimic the route of the Nordes wind.

And the blue and white bottle which is rather striking, is designed to mimic the traditional porcelain products made in Galicia.

It’s more of a forest fruit scent, almost berry-like in nature with a touch of menthol deep in the background. Located in the northwest of Spain, they set out to to capture the freshness of the the Atlantic Ocean in every bottle. A rather intriguing Spanish gin made with an Albariño-grape-based spirit, rather than your more commonly seen grain-based spirit, along with 12 botanicals including lemon peels, hibiscus, liquorice and eucalyptus. The story says they were eating lunch in Galicia, enjoying local specialties and came to the topic of creating a uniquely Galacian spirit. Delicately perfumed, Nordes is a soft, sweet gin with the flavour of red fruit, sherbert and peaches.
