Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean and lightly complex — subtle juniper, citrus peel brightness, the restraint of a well-aged recipe

Palate

Perfect balance between alcohol and botanical nuance — juniper, citrus, grains of paradise providing gentle heat, the botanicals speaking clearly through the triple distillation

Finish

Fresh and personal — an abundance of toasted almonds, the signature that distinguishes Rives from every other Spanish gin, dry and moreish

Expert Review

7/10

Produced in El Puerto de Santa María since 1880 — founded by German consul Don Augusto Haupold. Triple-distilled in two 100-year-old John Dore copper pot stills with eleven botanicals. Gold IWSC 2010, Best in Class San Francisco 2011 and 2013. The toasted almond finish is the signature.
