Gin Eva S'Horabaixa is a 50 cl dry gin built from three named botanicals: thyme from the Serra de Tramuntana, juniper and lemon from the Sóller valley. The recipe reads like a small map of Mallorca, but the tasting point is very practical. Thyme brings the herbal spine, lemon gives lift, and juniper keeps the gin dry. It was Spain Country Winner 2024 in Contemporary Style at the World Gin Awards.

The nose is immediately herbal, with thyme arriving before the citrus becomes fully open. Lemon then brings freshness and a clean edge, while juniper adds resin and dryness. On the palate, S'Horabaixa is not sweet or perfumed. The thyme gives a savoury, sun-dried herb impression, the lemon brightens the attack, and juniper returns on the finish with a dry, lightly bitter persistence. The 45% ABV gives enough volume for the three-botanical recipe to feel complete.

A Mediterranean tonic is the natural partner here because it supports herbs and citrus without adding a heavy flavour of its own. Serve the gin very cold with clear ice, 4 cl of gin, 12 cl of tonic, a lemon peel and a small thyme sprig. The thyme garnish should be light; it is there to echo the recipe, not dominate the glass. The same structure can work in a Collins when lemon is kept crisp and sugar restrained.

S'Horabaixa succeeds because it feels local without becoming vague. The gin does not rely on a long botanical list or broad island romance. It gives three materials room to work: thyme for aroma, lemon for brightness, juniper for dry structure. That makes it one of the more readable Gin Eva bottles for anyone looking for a herbal Mediterranean dry gin.
