This grape spirit-based gin began with Jullius imagining how the English crusaders who conquered Akko (the modern-day Israeli city of Acre) would have produced gin, given the local ingredients. The resultant spirit is made from 12 different botanicals that grow wild in Galilee. These include cade juniper, cedar of Lebanon, myrtle, olive, fig, citron, coriander, and mandarin. Each botanical is individually distilled, and Jullius uses fresh ingredients to make this gin, rather than the usual dried botanicals. As a result, it’s unlike any gin you’ve tasted and it walks a fine line between eau de vie and gin
