The Timeless Appeal of Gin
Gin exists not as a drink, but as a tradition. Gin is one of the traditional distilled alcoholic beverages flavored with juniper berries. Indeed, to legally earn the right to be called gin, there must be a predominance of juniper flavor. This adaptable drink has since captured the hearts of consumers around the world and found its place in cocktails and fine sipping rituals.
The cornerstone of this heritage is MEY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE INDUSTRY LIMITED, one of the world’s most renowned gin producers and exporters. MEY has a deep-rooted location in the heart of Northern Cyprus with state-of-the-art production facilities in Turkey. The MEY Story: A Tradition Refined Through Generations

The Evolution of a Vision
Since its establishment in 1975, MEY has evolved as a locally based craft distillery for over a decade, producing and exporting gin to various parts of the world, where it is known for offering a wide portfolio of premium spirits. MEY tends to maintain quality in every bottle, whether it’s traditional Cypriot Zivania or more modern beverages such as gin, vodka and whisky.
Understanding Gin: Distilled Purity with Herbal Character
Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage, meaning it’s typically produced when herbal ingredients are infused into a neutral grain alcohol (most often containing juniper berries). What makes gin special is its refreshing pine-scented juniper flavor, and subtle herbal notes like coriander, citrus, and angelica root enhance this taste.
Gin can be enjoyed in many different styles – gin and tonic, gin and ginger, and even fancy contemporary craft cocktails. This plays a significant role in making it a favorite among both experienced and casual drinkers.
