Jun Botanic

Jun Botanic — Artisanal Lebanese Gin from Rechmaya Distillery

Jun Botanic is an award-winning Lebanese gin, handcrafted in small batches by Rechmaya Distillery and deeply inspired by the bold character of the Lebanese mountains. This artisanal gin reflects both its place of origin and the philosophy of careful, flavour-driven distillation.

From the very first moment, Jun Botanic opens with soft and inviting aromas of mastic, gently layered with the herbal freshness of locally grown rosemary. Bright citrus notes of orange and lemon follow, creating an aromatic introduction that feels warm, cheerful and immediately expressive. These initial flavours linger lightly on the palate, setting the stage for a complex yet balanced tasting experience.

As the profile develops, Jun Botanic reveals a refined spice layer. Ginger and galangal add warmth and subtle heat, while coriander and bay leaves bring depth and structure without overpowering the spirit. This spiced mid-palate remains elegant and controlled, never aggressive, always harmonious.

At the heart of Jun Botanic lies its most defining ingredient: wild juniper excelsa harvested from the Bekaa mountains. This distinctive Lebanese juniper variety delivers a dry, resinous backbone with a gentle nostalgic character, grounding the gin firmly in its natural surroundings. The finish is clean, persistent and unmistakably regional, a quiet signature of native flavours and craftsmanship.

Every botanical used in Jun Botanic plays a deliberate role, contributing to a lively, uplifting and well-rounded gin that celebrates balance, terroir and joy. The result is a Lebanese gin that feels both authentic and contemporary, designed to be enjoyed neat, in a classic gin & tonic, or as the foundation for refined cocktails.
