List of products by brand Sharish Gin/ Antonio Cuco

Started in October 2013 the SHARISH GIN project is a new Portuguese gin and is produced in the Alentejo by António Cuco and will get its name from the village of MONSARAZ. Used during the Muslim occupation, the Arabic term "sharish", means xara or jara, the very alentejana esteva (Cistus ladanifer). Thus Mont Sharish would mean Mount erected in an impenetrable brenna of stems, originating later Monsaraz. This gin is part of a recipe stuffed with Portuguese ingredients, from Apple Bravo de Esmolfe DOP to oranges and lemons from Alentejo, passing through fresh Lúcia-Lima, together with the traditional juniper and coriander seed, complemented with cinnamon, clove and a soft touch of vanilla. All these ingredients are distilled separately in a traditional Portuguese alembic, and then submitted to a final blend.

The idea of ​​producing Sharish Gin came from a challenge of friends and the taste of the distiller to have exclusive things. From there, until the appearance of the recipe of Sharish Gin spent several weeks that were used in research. Next was the choice of the botanists being that the lúcia-lima is the preferred aromatic plant of the distiller and the Bravo apple of Esmolfe PDO its fruit of choice. The choice of name and logo is due to the passion for Monsaraz, one of the most beautiful places in Portugal. The shape of the bottle fits, perfectly, to the silhouette of Monsaraz chosen for the logo. Nothing has been left to chance in this production, everything has a reason to be, and the main one is the passion of gin linked to the conviviality among friends. As they say in the Alentejo, "may you profit."
