Guyanese gins tend to have some botanicals that you will not find in typical European or American gins. Ingredients such as the 'Wiri Wiri' pepper lend a touch of heat, while the aromatic 'Jamoon' berry imparts a subtle sweetness. 'Mora' bark, often used by the indigenous communities for its therapeutic properties, provides a unique bitterness that complements the classic juniper notes.
The water source, often overlooked, plays a pivotal role in spirit production. Guyana's pristine rivers, originating from the highland regions, provide mineral-rich water that lends a certain purity to the gin's profile.
