Canaima Gin is produced at DUSA in Venezuela. Though you may not recognise this distilleries name, they produce one of the most highly awarded rums in the world, the famous Diplomatico.

Canaima gin showcases some relatively unknown and obscure botanicals foraged from the Amazon rainforest right on their doorstep. With native botanicals in mind, Canaima pays a decent wage to local tribes who do the foraging. What’s more, 10% of the profit from each bottle will go towards reforestation of the Amazon as well as preserving the culture and heritage of the indigenous people.
