About Procera Gin
Procera Gin was launched in 2019 by Nairobi Distillers in Kenya with the goal of showcasing African botanicals which are sourced from across the continent. While almost all other gins feature Common Juniper (juniper communis) alone, Procera Gin is the first gin to also use African Juniper (juniper procera) - the only species of juniper native to the southern hemisphere - which is harvested 70km from the distillery and gives Procera Gin its name. After the launch of Procera's flagship 'Blue Dot' gin, this was followed by the release of 'Green Dot' and 'Red Dot' editions. The bottles are hand-blown in Nairobi and capped with a hand-carved palm wood stopper.

The Gin Guide Review: With Procera Gin's enviable and unique bottles, and such importance given to the species of juniper used, it is a gin with a lot to live up to, but it delivers on the promise triumphantly. The abundant juniper is ever-present and beautifully balanced, and the mouthfeel is full and oily. As well as having deservedly built a reputation as one of the best Martini gins available, Procera Gin also comes alive with a dash of tonic. The oils released bring a wealth of character from the juniper and the citrus takes on a more exotic tone, with pepperiness giving bite and ensuring the gin holds its own when mixed. It's a rare occasion where a G&T serving really is best as it is without a garnish. - Paul Jackson, 2021

Meet the Makers

“My whole career I’ve been striving to make the perfect Martini gin. When we distilled that first handful of fresh, green Procera berries, I knew immediately that African juniper was going to change the world of gin.” - Master Distiller, Roger Jorgensen
