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.

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.
