Mediterranean Gin

Inspired by a Maltese International Opera Singer…KAKO Gin is truly a Gin like no other. We are excited to offer this unique Maltese Mediterranean Dry Gin with Panache to the United Kingdom. ​Vapour infused, KAKO Gin is surely distinct as one of the only Dry Gins in the world distilled with Persimmon thus far. Adding those special Maltese Mediterranean botanicals this Gin sings wonders with its unmistakably ‘Inimitable Tang’. ​Subtly Sublime – their smooth and vibrant Gin embodies the charm and spirit of the Maltese Islands.

This Gin recipe is clear and concise, fresh and fruity, zesty yet sweet, finishing off with a touch of Maltese panache. The leading flavour of the Gin comes from its balanced blend of Juniper and Kaki which immediately tantalises one’s sensory receptors. The middle tones come from Mediterranean Orange and Lemon peels, combining the flavours with Ginger and Angelica root. Including some subtle local floral notes they finish the Gin through a vapour infused method adding two secret ingredients, also sourced from their vibrant Maltese islands.

Kaki or Persimmons as they are known in the West have an unmistakable taste like no other fruit. They have a silky, slippery texture and taste kind of like the fabulous fruity love child of a mango and a roasted sweet pepper, with a hint of cinnamon in the background. They are rich, tangy and sweet, creating a harmony of flavours. Some of our Mediterranean varieties produce the most succulent and tasty flavours of this beautiful fruit.

Kaki has been loved by many all over the world for thousands of years. In some regions it is also seen as a sacred fruit. It is loved in various parts of the world and has recently grown in popularity in less warmer climates.. Over 10,000 people every year flock to Indiana USA to enjoy their renowned Persimmon Festival. Persimmon or Kaki are taken to new heights, where locals compete by creating a vast range of culinary treats. Using Persimmon to create some delicious pies, sweet bakes, jams and many other savoury combinations. Persimmon Gin still seems to be rare as Gold dust, so it seemed fitting to bring this glorious fruit to its full potential by giving it its rightful place in one of the world’s most sought after alcoholic beverages. And what better debut for Kaki than to be the main protagonist of a truly refreshing Mediterranean Dry Gin!
