Starting with a premium barley base, the process involves delicate maceration and separate distillations for each botanical—a technique essential for capturing their full character. Some ingredients, like the Spanish citrus, undergo a process that takes over a year to perfect. This meticulous approach culminates in a proprietary blend that allows the distinctive Mediterranean botanicals—including Italian Basil, Greek Thyme, Turkish Rosemary, and Spanish Citrus—to express their unique features in the final gin. Even the core botanicals of juniper, coriander, and cardamom are grown on the distillery's own farms. The gin's name, 'Mare,' is inspired by the ancient concept of 'Mare Nostrum,' reflecting the special culture of this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spirits\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Spirit Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Global Premium Brands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47357299949912,"sku":"113318","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/gin-mare-mediterranean-gin-whelehans-wines-dublin-wine-spirit-shop.jpg?v=1761213761"}],"url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/collections\/gin.oembed","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
