Träkál Patagonian Spirit is one of the more unusual bottles in our gin section, and at $45 we think it's worth a look.
Warm baked apple and pear come through first — present, but not sweet in a cloying way. Wild berry notes layer in underneath, followed by a cooling mint finish that's clean without being aggressive. Neat at room temp, you get the full botanical complexity. On the rocks, the finish lengthens. With soda or tonic and an orange wedge, it opens up.
It substitutes into gin cocktails that benefit from a fruit-forward, lower-juniper profile. In our experience it holds its own in a Negroni or a Martinez and makes a good highball. If you've been burned by floral or overly piney gins before, Träkál may be worth your attention.
Pour Träkál over a large rock, add a splash of soda, an orange wedge, and a few fresh mint leaves. Serve it alongside a cheese board that includes aged manchego and a sharp blue. Simple, but genuinely good.
