Brana Gin au Piment d'Espelette is a French gin produced by Maison Brana, a family distillery located in the Basque Country. This expression is rooted in the local gastronomic heritage and highlights one of the region’s most emblematic ingredients, the Espelette pepper, protected by a PDO designation.

The gin is built on a classic juniper base, to which Espelette pepper is carefully added during distillation to bring warmth rather than aggressive heat. On the nose, juniper and fresh herbal notes appear first, followed by subtle spicy aromas. The palate is structured and balanced, with a progressive spiciness that enhances the aromatic profile without dominating it. The texture remains dry and clean, with a lingering peppery and herbal finish.

Brana Gin au Piment d'Espelette is designed for versatility. It works well in a gin and tonic where the spice can be highlighted with a neutral tonic, and it can also be used in cocktails that benefit from gentle warmth and aromatic depth.
