Procera Blue Dot African Juniper Gin

Procera Blue Dot African Dry Gin is the signature expression from Kenya’s groundbreaking Procera Distillery—the first gin in the world distilled with fresh African juniper (Juniperus Procera), harvested at altitude for unmatched vibrancy, clarity, and complexity. Crafted in Nairobi in a custom Müller still, Blue Dot is a refined, elegant gin made to elevate the Dry Martini, yet equally at home in a G&T—especially when paired with its signature botanical salt garnish, which adds a burst of umami depth.

This small-batch spirit showcases a symphony of 11 hand-selected African botanicals, creating a complex profile that is bright, earthy, and full of character. Fresh Kenyan Swahili lime and pixie orange add crisp citrus top notes; green tea and acacia honey offer softness and floral warmth, while Moroccan orris root and cardamom bring structure and lift. The finish is rounded out with exotic warmth from Zanzibar mace and pink pepper, while Selim pepper from Nigeria lends a smoky, savory backbone that lingers on the palate.

On the nose, expect lifted juniper with zesty citrus and herbal, nutty undertones. The palate is broad and textural, with a seamless blend of juniper, citrus, and spice, finishing long and soft with a savory, complex intensity.
