Sultan Gin is an artisanal gin born in León, crafted with scientific precision and a passion for the art of distillation. It is the result of years of research experience and a constant pursuit of the perfect balance between exotic botanicals and local roots.
Its recipe blends tradition and innovation: it is handcrafted using a small-batch distillation process that guarantees purity, sustainability, and exceptional quality.
Sultan Gin stands out for its unique sensory character, merging the citrus freshness of Japanese yuzu, the spicy warmth of wasabi, the floral sweetness of rosehip, the earthy and mineral depth of drosera —a rare carnivorous plant—, the smoothness of vanilla, and the unmistakable soul of juniper, the backbone of every gin.
The result is a refined, balanced, and modern spirit:
a gin that represents the meeting point between East and West, between science and nature, between innovation and craftsmanship.
Through this crowdfunding campaign, we aim to finance a new production batch and introduce Sultan Gin to a wider community while maintaining creative independence and a strong connection with our region. This project is not only about creating an exceptional drink, but about building a shared story — that of a conscious venture that distills culture, beauty, and balance.
Our minimum objective of €9,800 will be allocated mainly to the production of the new batch of Sultan Gin, artisanal bottling and the design of exclusive merchandising for patrons. The optimal objective of an additional €4,850 will allow us to improve logistics, sustainable distribution and cultural communication and marketing actions, thus strengthening the expansion of Sultan Gin as a project that unites science, art and territory.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
The Sultan Gin crowdfunding campaign seeks to consolidate a brand that unites science, art, and sustainability — while building a solid structure for responsible, efficient, and impactful growth.
Our objectives fall into three areas: production, commercial expansion, and social impact.
🔸 1. Sustainable artisanal production
We aim to fund a new batch of Sultan Gin, handcrafted in Tarragona with carefully selected natural botanicals. Small-batch production ensures quality, control, and traceability, preserving the essence of an exclusive product.
This new batch will cover current demand and open the door to new product lines — such as collectible formats and limited editions with experimental botanicals — always respecting sustainability principles and the sensory identity that defines Sultan Gin.
🔸 2. Innovation and process professionalization
Part of the funds will be used to optimize logistics and automate shipping from the warehouse to the final customer through an integrated management system that will:
• Prepare orders more efficiently and safely.
• Control stock in real time.
• Reduce unnecessary packaging and improve environmental impact.
Our goal is for every bottle of Sultan Gin to reach its destination in perfect condition — with the elegance and care worthy of a high-end artisanal product.
🔸 3. Commercial expansion
In the medium term, we aim to build a national distribution network connecting directly with specialty stores, cocktail bars, and fine restaurants. This will ensure that Sultan Gin reaches spaces where authenticity and creativity are truly valued.
In the long term, we plan to expand internationally, starting with countries where gin culture and appreciation for craft spirits are growing — such as Japan, the UK, and the Nordic countries. Sultan Gin has a multicultural identity, making it a natural fit for global markets that value design, science, and sophistication.
🔸 4. Job creation and community building
One of our key goals is to generate employment and collaboration opportunities by:
• Hiring part-time staff to support marketing, sales, and order management.
• Collaborating with local artists, designers, and bartenders in content creation and sensory experiences.
• Promoting an open, collaborative, and socially responsible business model.
🔸 5. Cultural and educational impact
We also want Sultan Gin to be a platform for cultural and scientific dissemination, showing the public the value of botanicals, the history of distillation, and the importance of biodiversity.
Each ingredient — from yuzu and wasabi to rosehip, drosera, vanilla, and juniper — has a story, an origin, and a purpose. Sharing that knowledge is part of our social mission: to show that behind every flavor lies science, nature, and respect.
Why this is important
Sultan Gin was born from a desire: to create more than a drink — to create an experience.
An experience that awakens the senses, connects with emotion, and celebrates curiosity.
It is designed for:
• Those who enjoy discovering flavors with history.
• Lovers of craft gin and fine spirits seeking distinctive products with identity.
• Seekers of authenticity, travelers and flavor explorers drawn to cultural nuances in every glass.
• Those who value craftsmanship made with heart and hands.
• Supporters of purpose-driven projects that blend creativity, science, and sustainability.
• People who believe in local, responsible entrepreneurship, artisanal production, and proximity-based economies.
• Individuals who appreciate science and innovation applied to daily pleasures.
Supporting Sultan Gin means supporting innovation and local talent — an independent brand that balances tradition and modernity. This crowdfunding campaign will not only finance a new batch but also build a community of supporters who feel part of this adventure.
Your contribution will help this dream grow without losing its essence: a gin born in León, distilled with precision in Tarragona, and conceived with an international soul. A brand that unites people, ideas, and cultures under one spirit: the creation of liquid beauty.
Team and experience
Behind Sultan Gin stands a small, diverse team united by one purpose: to transform the art of distilling into a cultural experience.
I’m Julián Zapico, Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and expert in fermentation and distillation processes. After more than 20 years working in research and development across several countries, I decided to bring that knowledge into the world of craft spirits — combining scientific precision with sensory creativity.
The team also includes:
• Óscar y Roberto Butragueño, in charge of operations and sales, with extensive experience in the gastronomy sector.
• Pablo Zeta, graphic designer and creator of Sultan Gin’s visual identity, inspired by oriental aesthetics and the refinement of distilling art.
Distillation takes place with manual control at every stage — from botanical selection to final bottling.
Each team member contributes a unique perspective: science, art, and sensitivity. Together, we form a small creative community that believes in the power of honest, beautiful, and sustainable projects.
Sultan Gin is, at its core, the collaboration between scientific rigor, artistic inspiration, and love for detail.
