Distiller's Background:

Founded in 2018 by four friends with a passion for Patagonia, Bosque is more than a distillery; it’s a tribute to the native forests of southern Argentina. Juan Augusto Chereminiano, Facundo Imas Anania, Bruno Anania, and Juan Nielsen created Bosque with a commitment to sustainability, fair trade, and innovation. Their gins are crafted from hand-harvested wild juniper sourced directly from small producers in El Bolsón and Lago Puelo, ensuring both exceptional quality and positive local impact. Bosque has quickly risen to global acclaim, positioning itself as a world-class gin made with Patagonian soul.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Bosque Refugios Gin neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate its cask-driven subtleties. For a refined cocktail, pair with tonic and a twist of lemon peel to amplify the woodsy citrus notes. Ideal alongside charcuterie, aged cheeses, or grilled seafood, this gin also shines as a contemplative sipper on a quiet evening.

Bosque Refugios Gin is a thoughtful intersection of nature, tradition, and transformation, an oak-kissed celebration of Argentine craftsmanship and botanical integrity.
