Little Faca - Barrel Aged Gin - 700ml

Sale price€37,00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


This innovative creation showcases the distillery’s commitment to unique flavor profiles. It is crafted in small batches in the heart of Porto. This spirit is a blend of their original tangerine and olive gin, which is then aged in barrels, allowing it to develop a complex and nuanced character.

On the nose, the gin offers a sophisticated aroma that balances the bright citrus notes of tangerine with a subtle, savory hint of olive. The barrel aging contributes an additional layer of complexity, introducing delicate notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a whisper of baking spice. The palate is smooth and well-rounded, with a gentle sweetness that complements the botanical core. The initial burst of orange and citrus gives way to a deeper, more mellow profile, where the juniper is softened and integrated. The savory olive undertones are present but not overpowering, adding a unique dimension. The influence of the oak is subtle and elegant, providing a creamy texture and a long, warming finish with lingering notes of spice and vanilla. This spirit is best savored neat or with a large ice cube to appreciate its full complexity.

Little Faca

Little Faca is a distinctive and innovative micro-distillery project situated in the vibrant heart of Porto, Portugal. Co-owned by the couple Tom and Raquel, this small-batch producer operates from a compact 25-square-metre space. They meticulously craft a range of distilled drinks and liqueurs using a selection of fine Portuguese ingredients. 

As one of the pioneers in the nascent field of Portuguese craft whisky, Little Faca has already embarked on its inaugural whisky project. They have laid down their first barrels, which are made from the heirloom Portuguese red corn known as 'Milho Rei'. The distillery, which began its production in March 2023, anticipates the release of this initial aged spirit in early 2027. The founders are also building more whisky stocks from other locally grown cereals, including rye and additional varieties of corn sourced from the North of Portugal. 

Beyond their ambitious whisky venture, Little Faca has cultivated a creative and diverse spirits portfolio. Their gin, for instance, is a unique blend of Portuguese tangerine and olives, while their limoncello features zesty lemons harvested directly from their garden. Another notable creation is their imaginative Olive Liqueur. The distillery also welcomes visitors to their tasting room, where they can sample and purchase the products directly, offering a personal and immersive experience into the world of Little Faca.
