Stray Dog is robust and herbaceous enough to shine in any cocktail application but citrusy and spicy enough to enjoy over ice or with a splash of soda water or tonic; its distinctly Mediterranean botanicals paint a portrait of the Greek landscape that will transport you with each sip.

Tasting Notes

Produced in Aridea, Greece, Stray Dog Wild Gin is made with the country’s finest botanicals: wild foraged sage, fennel seed, rosemary, and bay leaf, along with locally sourced juniper, mastiha, lemon, orange, cardamom, and coriander. This signature recipe lends a distinctly herbal and savory character to the gin which so beautifully reflects its country of origin, lending to the unique, terroir-driven profile. A 24-hour juniper-infused neutral spirit made from sugar beet molasses is directly distilled using 200-liter copper pot stills while the remaining nine botanicals are vapor infused. The resulting spirit is a delightfully lush gin held up by a strong juniper backbone which lays the foundation for the individual botanicals to move in and out of each sip—citrusy coriander, cardamom, & fennel with subtle, but pronounced herbaceous bay leaf and piney rosemary & mastiha notes. Additionally, a portion of Stray Dog’s proceeds are given to a local Greek charity called Save a Greek Stray that provides food, veterinary care, and homes for stray animals. 43.5% ABV
