Sagada Cellar Door Dry Gin 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bright and piney, with juniper taking the lead, lifted by crisp citrus and a hint of Sagada herbs that give it a mountain freshness.
Palate: Smooth yet bold, balancing classic dry gin structure with Filipino character. Notes of lemon peel, coriander, and local botanicals create depth, while the mountain spring water softens the texture beautifully.
Finish: Dry and refined, with a lingering blend of pine resin, citrus zest, and gentle spice, clean, elegant, and quietly persistent.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with premium tonic and a twist of calamansi peel for a local twist, or with a sprig of rosemary to highlight its piney backbone. For sipping, add a drop of water to open up its floral and citrus layers.

Sagada Cellar Door Dry Gin 70cl
Brand: Sagada Cellar Door | Category: Dry Gin | ABV: 45% | Origin: Sagada, Philippines | Vol: 70cl

Production Details:
Distilled in small copper stills at Sagada’s high elevation, this gin is built on a foundation of pure mountain spring water and hand-foraged botanicals. The altitude slows fermentation, allowing flavors to develop more fully, while copper distillation refines the spirit to crystal clarity. Each batch is guided by craftsmanship, not automation, a patient process that honors the region’s rhythm and natural beauty.

Interesting Fact:
The distillery’s water is drawn from Sagada’s natural limestone aquifers, the same source that nourishes the region’s world-famous Arabica coffee. This mineral-rich water is key to the gin’s clarity and smooth texture.

Every bottle is made by hand, from fermentation to labeling, using local ingredients and sustainable methods. Their mission is simple yet profound, to capture the essence of Sagada’s landscape in every pour, proving that world-class spirits can rise from the mountains of the Philippines.

Perfect For:
A G&T enjoyed at twilight, when the air cools and the pine trees begin to whisper. It’s equally stunning in a martini or simply sipped neat with a touch of water, a gin that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
