Full Circle Craft Distillers "ARC" Archipelago Botanical Philippines Gin (750ml)

Full Circle is the Philippines' first craft distillery. This island nation is one of the world's largest consumers of gin, but much of the domestic production is on a massive industrial scale. Opened in 2018 with a state-of-the-art facility in Calamba City south of Manila, Full Circle has already been named Philippines Distillery of the Year at the prestigious Asia International Spirits awards. Their flagship offering is the ARC Botanical Gin. Its hand crafted from 28 botanicals of which 22 are locally sourced or foraged throughout the island nation. The country's first authentic craft gin is citrus-forward and includes pomelo, oranges (dalandan) and calamansi, Benguet pine from the Cordillera Mountains of northern Luzon, fresh mango, lemon grass, key lime (dayap) and tropical flowers -sampaguita, ylag-ylang and kamia. Classic ingredients include angelica, chamomile, cinnamon, black pepper and of course juniper. This traditional dry gin is distilled on a custom made 450-liter CARL Copper Pot Still in tiny batches. Winning GOLD at both the London Gin Awards as well as the SIP Awards, ARC is poised to not only be the top gin in the Philippines, but one of the world's most intriguing and sought-after craft gins, period.
