A gin that celebrates what is rare, ephemeral, and made with soul. Benefício Cherry Blossom Gin unites the Portuguese tradition of Serra de São Mamede with the symbolic delicacy of cherry blossoms in a limited and unrepeatable edition.
Each bottle captures the fleeting beauty of spring and the meeting of cultures that revere nature. More than a gin, it is a poetic gesture where terroir, technique, and time converge terroir, técnica e tempo convergem.
Tasting notes
Nose: upon opening the bottle, one immediately senses a floral and sweet aroma, evocative of the cherry blossom’s delicacy. It presents soft yet perfectly perceptible notes of cherry petals that recall the freshness of spring. The clean base of the rice spirit allows the floral and sweet aromas to reveal themselves with elegance, complemented by subtle touches of juniper.
Palate: smooth and balanced, with a delicate entry that reveals the essence of the São Julião cherry blossoms. The enveloping floral notes meld with touches of acidity—a result of the salt and vinegar preservation—and a slight natural sweetness. The finish is long, refined, and fresh, with a complexity that invites contemplation.
Intensity: floral and delicate.
