Tasting notes
Nose
Intense and exotic: ripe tropical fruit (pitahaya, papaya, tamarillo), notes of cacao and cinnamon, with an herbal-earthy background reminiscent of Andean coca leaf.
Palate
Silky and full entry. Notes of caramel, bitter chocolate and fresh citrus intermingle with sweet spices (cardamom) and a persistent herbal nuance.
Finish
Long and velvety, with a spiced persistence and echoes of tropical fruit and chocolate.
Editorial insight
Long before the coca plant became associated with modern controversy, Andean civilisations revered it as a gift from the gods — energising, ceremonial, medicinal. Amuerte reclaims that profound origin and distils it into a bottle that is simultaneously a cultural manifesto and a work of craft. Black Edition is the darkest, most spiced and most layered expression in the range: a gin that does not seek immediate approachability, but conquers through the complexity that only exacting selection of botanicals can produce. The 24-karat gold that finishes each bottle is not decoration — it is the seal of a craft that refuses to be industrialised.
Heritage & character
Amuerte was conceived in Belgium with its spirit firmly placed in South America. Brand founder Barchitect created this gin with the conviction that coca leaf, decocainised and treated with rigour, could be an extraordinary botanical. The name 'Amuerte' evokes the duality of the living and the extinct, the archaic and the contemporary, Andean tradition and European distilling precision. Each bottle is a meeting point between two worlds.

Frequently asked questions
What type of spirit is Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Black Edition?
Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Black Edition is a contemporary distilled gin (New Western Gin) crafted in Belgium. It is distinguished by its pioneering use of decocainised Peruvian coca leaf as its principal botanical, alongside exotic South American fruits including pitahaya, tamarillo and papaya. It is bottled at 43% ABV in 70 cl.
What sets Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Black Edition apart?
Three elements make it unique: it is the world's first gin to incorporate decocainised Peruvian coca leaf as a defining botanical; it uses exotic South American fruits (pitahaya, tamarillo, guava, papaya) that create an aromatic profile impossible to replicate; and each bottle is hand-finished with 24-karat gold leaf, making it a collectible object as well as a first-rate gin.
How is Amuerte Coca Leaf Gin Black Edition best served?
The most common service is in a very cold balloon glass with premium dry tonic in a 1:2 ratio, accompanied by a garnish of dehydrated orange slice, sliced fresh ginger or pink peppercorns. It also shines in a Negroni (with red vermouth and Campari), or neat over a large ice cube to appreciate its botanical complexity without excessive dilution.
Is it a suitable gift bottle?
Yes, it is one of the most impactful premium gift options on the market. Its dark artistic bottle hand-finished with 24-karat gold leaf offers an immediately distinguishable presentation. Ideal for avant-garde gin enthusiasts, collectors of exclusive spirits or as a high-end corporate gift.
Which botanicals stand out in Amuerte Black Edition?
The most singular botanical is decocainised Peruvian coca leaf, which contributes a complex bitter-sweet base and a characteristic herbal-earthy nuance. It is accompanied by pitahaya (dragonfruit), tamarillo, papaya and guava as exotic fruits; cardamom for the spiced profile; juniper as the classic gin base; and orange peel for the final citrus accent.
Is the coca leaf in Amuerte Gin legal?
Yes, entirely. The coca leaves used in Amuerte Gin undergo a certified decocainisation process, removing all psychoactive substances. The product is legal in the European Union and in most international markets. Local regulations should be verified before importing outside the EU.
