Soli Gin
Rich in Cyprus BotanicalsThe journey to producing our small batch Gin made here in Cyprus began with two dogs. And, a friendship that has lasted 40 years. Not to mention a shared passion for the perfect Gin and Tonic, Negronis, Dry Martini and the occasional cheeky White Lady! […read more]
Handcrafted
Small Batch Distilled GinProduced using purified neutral alcohol of roughly 96% Gin can be formulated from grain or a by-product of grapes or molasses. Botanicals are wrapped in muslin or similar material, using time-honoured techniques. It is then steeped in the base alcohol inside a traditional copper still, for up to 48 hours before the distillation process commences.
Once distilled Soli Gin is cut with locally sourced natural spring water from the Paphos region to attain the legal alcohol percentage for bottling. The real Gin heroes are, of course, the botanicals. […read more]
Our Passion
Our way of life and our love of our land and seaThe alchemy began on a Saturday morning in a kitchen in Neo Chorio!
Different quantities and types of botanicals were introduced to the distillation process. Ongoing tasting at each stage in what was a surprisingly short period had produced a small batch of gin with which we were happy. It had some distinct botanical and citrus notes that soaked well with tonic. Excited and enthusiastic by this little success, the next question was how and if the gin could be produced on a commercial scale.
Sustainably sourced in the Akamas

About 4 years ago, whilst relaxing at night and looking at Social Media, my interest was piqued by an advert for a Financial Controller for a Start-Up Co. I applied, met Tim and Ron, and we hit it off so much that I also invested in the Company.
Despite the setbacks we have faced, with the Red Tape and the Pandemic, we formed the Company and went from Strength to Strength with a small team. We are looking at expanding our range of products and availability across the Island and beyond shortly.

Whilst walking two typically mad and energetic Cyprus hounds through the Akamas on a slightly damp autumn afternoon, metaphorical lightning stuck the intrepid dog walkers. In front of them, they found they were surrounded by trees redolent with Juniper berries. This essential botanical gives our gin its distinctive flavour and aroma. And the seed of an idea was planted.

Testimonials

Usually, I don’t try new gin products as I’m loyal to a brand I’ve drunk for years. After a friend of mine constantly insisted (drove me mad, I should say) that I try the Soli Premium Gin (which I hadn’t even heard of), I finally gave in. Wow! It is an understatement. I am now fully converted and have a new fave (possibly even at my age). Hilary

I tried all three Soli Gin products at a tastings promotion at Paphos Harbour whilst on holiday in the summer and was pleasantly surprised. Although I liked all three, the pink Cherry one was my favourite and even better that there was no added sugar. I picked a bottle up at the airport on my way back to the UK, and I can honestly say I sat in my back garden sipping it with my Pink Grapefruit tonic (which the lovely lady suggested I try), which transported me back to the sun and sea.

I'm really into my Gin, and Soli Gin is a worthy member of my top shelf in the drinks cabinet. Love the bottle design too...
