It’s hard to describe exactly what it tastes like, because all those botanicals are unique to Patagonia... which means if anything, we've got to try it for educational purposes! 🙃
But an entirely new invention? That’s a rare breed. And that’s why we’re so excited about Träkál, a spirit made in Chilean Patagonia that’s intended to be a pure expression of the region’s terroir.
You might envision Träkál as somewhere between a brandy and a gin. A brandy, because it’s distilled from fruit—native pear and crabapple. And a gin, because it’s made with an array of herbaceous botanicals. But it’s hard to describe exactly what it tastes like, because all those botanicals are unique to Patagonia. According to co-founder Ben Long, when you walk through the Patagonian forests, it smells almost exactly like Träkál.
It’s smooth and fruity, with the apple and pear base spirit coming through, but with so much else going on, too: a strong anise-like flavor, a hard-to-pinpoint fruity element, a warm, spicy forest-floor earthiness. In short, it’s delicious, and quite literally in a class of its own. Sip Träkál neat to wrap your head around it, but then try these three original cocktails. There’s a reason that classic martinis and Manhattans work so well.
