Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Red Edition

Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Red Edition is distilled in Belgium using an infusion of coca leaves sourced from Peru, combined with a selection of tropical fruits including tamarillo, dragon fruit, papaya and pineberry. The development of this edition follows the brand’s continued focus on controlled sourcing of coca leaves and the integration of botanicals with identifiable agricultural origins. The red edition is characterized by a specific emphasis on fruit expression while maintaining the framework of a flavored gin with no postdistillation sweetening declared.

On the nose, the gin presents a distinct fruity profile where papaya sweetness and dragon fruit floral nuances appear alongside a mild pepper note. On the palate, the fruit components unfold progressively, with tamarillo bringing a slightly tangier dimension and pineberry contributing its recognizable pineapple-like aromatic register. The presence of Szechuan pepper adds a final structured lift without overtaking the fruit character. The texture is fluid and remains balanced between tropical expression and herbal backbone associated with coca leaves.

The visual presentation of the Red Edition is defined by a red glass bottle incorporating gold decorative elements in 24-carat application, which has played a role in the brand’s positioning within the premium segment. The design reflects continuity with previous editions while distinguishing itself through its color scheme.

Recommended service includes a neutral tonic to avoid masking the tropical composition, and citrus garnish is generally omitted in order to preserve the intended reading of fruit aromatics. In cocktail use, the gin can be approached in a simple long drink format where carbonation and dilution allow the botanical and fruit balance to remain perceptible without intensifying sweetness.
