SECRETS OF HERZEGOVINIAN KARST IN A GLASS OF PROTEUS

In the small village of Dračevo, near Trebinje, a unique spirit was born — Proteus London Dry Gin, a drink that carries within it the essence of untouched nature and ancient Herzegovinian secrets.

What makes this gin truly special is the water drawn from a depth of 240 meters, a place where sunlight never reaches, and where the olm (Proteus anguinus)—a rare aquatic creature and symbol of purity, mystery, and the untamed power of nature—was discovered. This very water gives the gin its distinct character: pure, bold, and unforgettable, according to representatives of the Hercegovačka kuća (Herzegovinian House).

They add that every glass of Proteus holds a whisper of the past, the strength of the earth, and a freshness that evokes freedom.

This gin is available in select specialty stores, including Hercegovačka kuća, as well as Krajiška kuća, where it is offered as part of a curated selection of authentic local products.
