Xibal refers to "Xibalba," the mythical underworld from Mayan mythology. This gin isn't a classic London style, but rather a tribute to Central American botanicals and traditions. Think ingredients typical of the region, creating a spicier, more exotic profile than standard gin.
The bottle immediately catches the eye: the Aztec/Mayan-esque mask on the label, the deep colors, and the wooden cap give it a handcrafted, almost ritualistic feel. This isn't a bottle you'll put at the back of the cupboard—it's a conversation starter.
The flavor is fresh yet complex, with spicy, citrusy, and slightly earthy notes. Perfect in a gin and tonic with a simple garnish to showcase the botanicals.
What makes this gin unique is its story: not a European tradition, but a spirit with Latin American roots and identity. Ideal for guests who want something different than just another standard gin—something with culture, character, and charisma.
