Capjari Gold Organic Gin – Saves the Ocean
Want to leave a greener fingerprint on the world? That’s exactly what Capjari Gold Organic Gin aims to achieve.
The word “Jari” means “fingerprint” in Malay, and Capjari is the world’s first distilled spirit to carry an Ocean Action Label, crafted from plastic collected before it reaches the ocean. This makes every sip a symbol of sustainability, innovation, and responsibility.
Through a groundbreaking partnership with Plastic Bank, Capjari is pioneering a new Green & Social approach in the spirits industry. For more than 10 years, Plastic Bank has been building recycling centers in developing countries to capture ocean-bound plastics, while also creating jobs and fighting poverty. With every bottle, Capjari supports this mission – turning your gin & tonic into a small act of positive change.
The Story Behind the Name
This is not just a premium gin – it’s a spirit with a unique personality, just like a fingerprint. Its full name comes from the long pepper of Java, the central botanical that gives Capjari its distinctive character. In Indonesian, this pepper is known as Capjari, and it has been prized for centuries for its warming spice and aromatic complexity.
By placing this pepper at the heart of the recipe, the distillers pay tribute to both tradition and innovation, connecting heritage ingredients with modern sustainability.
Crafted with Care – The Distillation Process
Capjari is double-distilled, certified organic, and made with 11 carefully chosen botanicals. Each botanical is individually macerated and distilled before being brought together in perfect harmony. The final blend undergoes a second distillation in a traditional copper still, ensuring clarity, smoothness, and depth of flavor.
Key Botanicals
- Cardamom
- Coriander
- Cinnamon
- Licorice
- Citrus peels
- Cloves
- Tuscan iris root
- Long Java pepper
The result is a gin that’s complex, smooth, and perfectly balanced, with layers of spice, citrus, and earthy botanicals.
Tasting Notes
