Best Argentine gin?

[Lex]

It's Friday, so for the gin aficionados out there, what's the best Argentine gin? I'm not talking about overseas brands made here (e.g. Gordon's, etc), but boutique (artesanal) Argentine gin. There seems to be quite a few on the market, so I'm interested to hear people's views on them. I've only tried Heredero, which I quite liked. Cheers!

I liked Principe de los Apostoles when I tried it many years ago at Floreria Atlantico in Recoleta.

Myrica. Also, Malaria Gin.

I liked Gin Sur, you can get it at Zetta Bebidas.

Consume local gins (AYOR).

Mass produced, or artesanal they all give me the worst hangovers!

I was gifted some Gina once, made in Patagonia. I'm no aficionado but I liked it

I'm obsessed by the Gin Place (Callao 1375). It lists half a dozen Argentine gins nu to me: 500 Noches pink Malbec, Jardin Escondido, Bosque Alta Montana, Cat Sith, Ma'Hai etc. Anyone had experience of these or of a better shop for artisanal gins?

I have been drinking Bosque Alta Montana. It has been on sale the past few weeks in the supermarkets. Nice to find a strong drink at 53% instead of the many at only 38-44%

Thanks for all your responses. It seems there are far more Argentine gins than I thought. According to this "gin map", there are 340 (as at Oct 6, 2021)! Here's an article about the gin phenomenon here...

EL FENÓMENO DEL GIN EN ARGENTINA - Bar and Drinks

Es raro lo que pasa con esta categoría en nuestro mercado. Muy raro. La pandemia desató una gigantesca e inusitada cantidad de marcas nacionales nuevas del tipo “artesanal”. A lo largo y ancho de todo el territorio nacional, hoy parece que no queda en el mapa provincia sin producir un Gin. Sí...
