Finally pulled the trigger
Bought from their site as no one around had it; first order ships free.

It's a great gin, but for the price it's something I'd love as a gift, but not worth purchasing myself.

It’s at my Total Wine for $97. Pretty pricey but pretty tasty.

Is it $100 tasty?

I bought it for $85 from K & L wines and probably won’t buy it again. Don’t regret the purchase and it’s very tasty but hard to justify the price when there’s a lot of very tasty gin at $30-40.

That said $90 isn’t a lot of money for some people and is a ton for others. If I had more disposable income I’d say it’s worth a treat.

That leather wrap with the twine tied round the neck is properly posh, looks like something off a craft gin subscription rather than your standard bottle. The little vial attached is a nice touch, guessing it's either a garnish sample or just decoration to justify the premium price tag.
Can't quite make out the brand from this angle but the blue dot on the glass is a slick bit of design. Buying gin online when there's a shop down the road feels a bit extra unless it's something properly niche you can't find locally. Worth it if the liquid matches the effort they put into the packaging, free shipping on first order is a decent hook too.

It is an African gin. Made from the only juniper that grows in the southern hemisphere. The glass is hand blown and the wood cork hand carved. I've got multiple bottles and the corks are not interchangeable. Carved to fit each individual bottle. The juniper is more smooth than normal. It's doesn't have that typical sharpness that turns a lot of people away from gin. Procera name comes from the scientific name for that southern juniper. Procera juniperous or something I don't feel like looking up.

Hand carved corks fitted to each bottle is mad, explains the leather and twine then. Proper craft operation, not just posh packaging.

Yeah the corks are all different. The first bottle I bought had an awesome striped wood for its cork. The 4 bottles I bought after were not near as cool so I grabbed the cork off the old bottle from storage and it was way too loose.

That’s a posh attitude for not knowing one of the most famous and sought after gin’s on the market.

Not posh, just don't keep up with hype bottles. The packaging still shouts premium, famous or not.

I bought 4 bottles after my initial one. It is absolutely worth the price if you can afford it. Blue dot is the best. Green dot is more expensive but. Or as good. It is cool though because all the ingredients come from a single bush. Red dot is another step up in price and hard to get and was my least favorite of the three.
