Portugal’s Alentejo region is known for its oak trees that cast long shadows over red soil and the scent of citrus hangs in the air. But it is also the home of Black Pig Gin.
Black Pig Gin is crafted with a mix of wild botanicals foraged from the hills and farmland of the state and distilled near the coast.
What makes it distinct isn’t just the juniper, but what surrounds it: native herbs, tangy citrus, wildflowers, carob pods, and acorns—yes, acorns—from the very trees that feed the region’s black pigs. It’s a blend rooted in Alentejo’s landscape. In every sip, you can taste the salty sea breeze, the warmth of the sun and the earthiness of the forest.
Black Pig Gin is a small-batch, copper-distilled, and deeply personal gin. Every step of the process—from botanical selection to bottling—is done with intention. Even the design nods to Alentejo: playful, rustic, and a little rebellious.
Portugal’s gin scene has grown rapidly in the past decade, with distilleries like Black Pig leading a new generation of producers who are reimagining what Portuguese spirits can be. They’re drawing on what’s local and the result is something a fresh twist on something familiar.
Black Pig Gin is available in the U.S. at WorldClass.com—so you can pour yourself a glass of Alentejo, wherever you are.
