Larios Gin Original 1L
★★★★ 4.0 (1 review)Pour this and you're basically piping a Spanish summer into your glass. Larios is all about that bright Mediterranean citrus, lemon and orange leading the way, with the juniper sitting back instead of punching you in the nose. It's the friendly gin: smooth, sunny, zero attitude. Crack the 1L when people are coming over and you want a G&T that just works, round after round, no fuss.
The nose is soft and fruity, more orange-grove than pine-forest. First sip leads with zesty lemon and orange peel, then a gentle juniper hum underneath so it still tastes like proper gin. There's a little coriander warmth and a whisper of pepper on the finish, but nothing sharp or boozy. Easy, clean, and a bit sweet on the edges. The kind of gin you don't have to think hard about.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Larios comes from Málaga on Spain's sunny southern coast, where the Larios family set up shop way back in 1866. That coastal, citrus-soaked corner of Spain is basically baked into the bottle: this is the gin Spaniards reach for more than any other, the default pour behind the bar across the country. So when you make a Larios G&T, you're drinking the way Spain actually drinks gin.

Spain, specifically Málaga on the southern coast, where the Larios name has been going since 1866. It's the best-selling gin in Spain.

It's a Spanish dry gin built around Mediterranean citrus over juniper, so it's softer and fruitier than a punchy London Dry. Great if you find some gins too piney.
