About this product

Pure. Wild. Distinctly Italian.
Steeped in history and elegance, Bordiga Occitan Gin is a celebration of Italian craftsmanship dating back to 1889. Born from a rediscovered Bordiga recipe over a century old, this gin carries the legacy of Piedmontese distillation, where meticulous attention to botanicals and time-honoured methods create a spirit of rare finesse.

Crafted in small batches, Occitan Gin showcases hand-selected alpine herbs, juniper, and citrus, carefully distilled in traditional copper pot stills to preserve every nuanced aroma. Each sip reveals a complex tapestry of flavours — vibrant citrus, warm spice, and the soft perfume of alpine botanicals — capturing the essence of Bordiga’s heritage and the natural beauty of the Piedmont Alps.

More than just a gin, Occitan Gin is a journey through time. It reflects Bordiga’s dedication to preserving tradition while embracing modern elegance, offering a refined and aromatic spirit that delights both seasoned gin enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Its sophisticated character makes it a standout addition to Ireland’s premium gin scene, whether enjoyed neat, with tonic, or in inventive cocktails.

Why we love it:
It’s the rare gin that bridges tradition and refinement. The juniper, elevated by alpine altitude and pure mountain air, offers a crisp, floral lift, while supporting botanicals add gentle warmth and balance. Whether crafted for a classic Martini or savoured in a G&T, its crisp clarity and harmonious depth make it a standout—a reliable favourite for Irish gin lovers seeking both quality and character.

Country of origin

Italy

Colour
Crystal clear.

Nose
Bright juniper, pine resin, wild herbs, citrus peel.

Palate
Dry and crisp with bold juniper, subtle floral notes, and a mineral backbone. Hints of sage and alpine wildflowers emerge mid-palate, with a lingering, refreshing finish.

Gin Occitan is exceptionally versatile. It shines in classic cocktails but also rewards slow sipping with just a cube of ice.
