ARKI

ARKI gin bottle, frosted glass with geometric label
The King of Gin

A frosted-glass spirit, slow-distilled and bottled in Cameroon.

N° 01 Yaoundé Centre · 2018

Distilled with intention in the heart of Yaoundé. A gin built on patience, dressed in a language of symbols, and designed to be remembered long after the last pour.

Botanicals

Twelve notes.
One character.

Every glyph on the bottle is a story. Every botanical in the still is a decision.

Base
Juniper

Juniper

Hand-picked at peak oil concentration for a bright, resinous spine.

Lift
Citrus

Citrus

Peel macerated for 48 hours, then vapour-infused for a clean, sunlit finish.

Depth
Spice

Spice

Warm roots and seeds from across the Centre Region, rested before distillation.

Finish
Florals

Florals

A quiet floral close that lingers — soft petals folded into the last breath of the pour.

Editions

Frost.

Frosted glass, a crisp juniper core and bright citrus lift. The original.

ARKI Frost edition ARKI Noir edition
Still

Slow batch.
No shortcuts.

Small copper runs, cut by hand, never rushed.

Rest

Time does
the talking.

Rested until every botanical settles into one voice.

Glass

Dressed in
symbols.

A label drawn from a visual language of place and story.

Pour

Made for
the moment.

Over ice, it opens up. Slowly. Deliberately.
