Product Description

Mastic Tears Mitilini Dry Gin: A Drier Greek Mastiha Spirit with Piney, Herbal Character

Mastic Tears Mitilini Dry Gin is the catalog name used for Mastic Tears Dry, a Greek mastiha-based spirit produced by EVA Distillery in Mytilene. The official range describes it as a drier expression made from mastiha spirit obtained from privately owned mastic trees near Olympoi on Chios.

Despite the catalog’s “Gin” classification, current producer material presents Mastic Tears Dry as a dry mastiha liqueur rather than conventional juniper gin. The description therefore centers on Chios mastic resin, herbs, citrus, and its clean, aromatic finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Pine resin, fresh herbs, citrus peel, and floral mastiha. Palate: Dry botanical character, subtle sweetness, anise-like spice, and honeyed resin. Finish: Long and refreshing, with mastic, herbs, and gentle spice.

Food Pairings

Pair with feta, olives, grilled seafood, citrus salads, yogurt desserts, almonds, or honey pastries.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled, over ice, with sparkling water and lemon, or as a small modifier in a Martini or Greek Negroni.
