Gin made from grapes instead of grain
Vrijwel alle gin begint met neutrale graanalcohol. Nordés begint met albariño, de witte druif waar Galicië om bekendstaat. Die basis is niet volledig neutraal en brengt zelf al tonen van wit fruit en bloesem mee, nog voordat er één kruid in gaat.
Zes van de elf kruiden groeien wild in Galicië, waaronder eucalyptus, laurier en zeekraal. Dat laatste geeft de zilte toon die bij een kustgin hoort. Wij hebben ook een klein flesje van tien euro, dus u kunt hem proberen zonder een hele fles te kopen. Weet u niet welke u moet hebben, bel ons dan even. Daar zijn we voor.

Nordés comes from Galicia, the green north-western corner of Spain above Portugal, a region with a rugged Atlantic coast that looks more like Ireland than the Costa del Sol. The name is that of the north wind that announces good weather there.
The base is unusual: not neutral grain alcohol but a distillate of albariño grapes, the white grape the region has become famous for. That base has deliberately not been kept fully neutral, so notes of white fruit and blossom remain.
Eleven botanicals go into it, each macerated separately. Six of them grow wild in Galicia: sage, bay leaf, mint, lemon verbena, eucalyptus and samphire. The last is a small coastal plant that gives the gin a salty edge. The blue and white bottle is inspired by Sargadelos pottery, which is made by hand in Galicia.
A gin that starts with a wine grape instead of grain. You rarely come across that, and you taste it straight away.
How do you serve Nordés?
Met een neutrale tonic, zodat de bloesem en de eucalyptus ruimte houden. Als garnering werken drie witte druiven beter dan citroen, een knipoog naar de basis van de gin. Wie liever iets lichters drinkt, kan hem ook aanlengen met droge witte wijn en spuitwater.
Frequently asked questions about Nordés
How many Nordés does ’t Bockje have in stock?
Three bottles: a small sample bottle, the regular bottle and a large size.
Wat maakt Nordés anders dan andere gin?
The base. Almost all gin starts with neutral grain alcohol; Nordés starts with a distillate of albariño grapes. That base already brings notes of white fruit and blossom of its own.
Which botanicals does it contain?
Eleven, each macerated separately. Six grow wild in Galicia: sage, bay, mint, lemon verbena, eucalyptus and samphire. The other five are juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus and black tea.
Where does the name come from?
Van de noordenwind die in Galicië het mooie weer aankondigt. De blauw-witte fles verwijst naar het aardewerk van Sargadelos.
How best to drink Nordés?
With a neutral tonic and three white grapes as a garnish instead of lemon. A pronounced tonic overpowers the blossom and the eucalyptus.
