Oyster Fine de Claire Adriatic Gin

Oyster Gin is a distinctive dry gin inspired by the mountains and Adriatic coastline of Montenegro. Bottled at 42.5% ABV, it combines mountain juniper with a carefully selected range of Adriatic botanicals. The gin is produced in Montenegro by Noblewood Adriatic. Its botanical profile reflects the natural character of the region, combining fresh herbs, spices and the aromatic character of mountain juniper.

Key botanicals include juniper, coriander seeds, fennel, angelica root, liquorice root and black pepper. Together, they create a complex but balanced botanical profile with both freshness and depth. On the nose, the gin opens with resinous mountain juniper and fresh green herbs. Coriander adds a subtle citrus-like freshness, while gentle pepper brings aromatic warmth.

On the palate, the juniper remains prominent and expressive. Fennel introduces a delicate anise character, while angelica root adds earthy botanical depth. Notes of rosemary and green herbs create a distinctly Mediterranean impression. The texture is smooth and expressive, with a subtle savoury character developing alongside the spices. Black pepper adds gentle warmth without overpowering the fresh botanical profile.

The finish is long and gently spiced. Juniper, herbs and pepper remain noticeable, accompanied by a subtle savoury and maritime character. The overall impression is fresh, aromatic and distinctly Adriatic. The bottle itself is inspired by the elegant shape of a Fine de Claire oyster. Its sculptural design reflects the natural beauty and individuality of an oyster shell. The name refers to this inspiration rather than an ingredient used in the gin.

Oyster Fine de Claire Adriatic Gin is excellent in a classic Gin & Tonic. Serve it over ice with a dry premium tonic. Lemon or rosemary can complement the herbal and Mediterranean character. It also works beautifully in a Dry Martini or other spirit-forward gin cocktails. This gin is ideal for drinkers who enjoy juniper-led spirits with herbal, spicy and subtle maritime notes.
