We embarked on an innovative journey to distill the first Portuguese hemp gin, exploring the unique herbaceous flavours of hemp. The result? A new-age gin which balances the freshness and sweetness in an exceptional way.
In our commitment to innovation and sustainability, we have chose hemp as one of our distinctive botanicals. In addition to being a versatile plant, hemp stands out for its low environmental impact during production. This choice resulted in the first Portuguese hemp gin.
A sustainable choice
At Benefício Gin, we believe that sustainable choices not only enrich the quality of our products and achieve a positive impact on the environment. Hemp is a distinctive botanical that we carefully choosen and state our commitment to sustainability.
A varied choice
Hemp Flower Gin offers three variations – Herbal, Summer and Delicate – each representing a unique sensory experience. In the distillation process, we have faced the creative challenge of capturing not only the flavors and essence of hemp - present in its three variations.
Distilling
This gin is macerated inside the copper still where it is subsequently distilled and produced by the London Dry method, so it is the product of a unique distillation.
In the development process of the Hemp Flower Gin, there were born three variations – Herbal, Summery and Delicate –, and like in happy families, everyone is welcome, there are three different products with the same distillation base.
Our gins
Benefício Hemp Flower Gin is based the juniper and an infusion of 11 botanists whose magic is given by the herb prince, cardamom and ginger. It’s a gin in which hemp plays the role of vocalist, a plant with flavours very herbaceous, here compensated with freshness and sweetness.
