UTAH
Between red rocks and wild juniper.
In the heart of the Utah desert, amidst red sandstone canyons and endless expanses, Juniperus Osteosperma not only survives: it thrives. Here, some of the most resilient botanicals on the planet can be found.
Among the red rocks of Utah, where silence is only interrupted by the wind sweeping through the canyons, we discovered something extraordinary: a juniper that defies all logic. Juniperus Osteosperma thrives here, in conditions that would challenge any other plant, developing a unique, resinous, and earthy character that cannot be replicated elsewhere. This is our Desert Gin.
The Botanicals of the Desert
-
Desert Juniper (Juniperus Osteosperma): Resinous, earthy, with a slightly peppery finish that tells the story of its daily struggle for survival.
-
Sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata): Herbaceous and slightly bitter notes
-
White Sage (Salvia Apiana): Fragrant, crisp, aromatic
- Sumac (Rhus Aromatica):Earthy, slightly smoky, with a lively and refreshing finish.
The Harvest
The harvest in the Utah desert is an experience that defies all conventions. Our local foragers move among the red rocks. Each berry is selected and handpicked, in a process that feels almost surreal: searching for juniper in the middle of the desert.
The botanicals here do not grow in neat gardens or cultivated fields. They are scattered across the land, hidden among the rocks, protected from the scorching sun. Every harvest is a true treasure hunt that requires experience, patience, and a deep knowledge of the terrain.
