Senhor Raposa

Coming: Late Summer 2022

Journey back to 1860. Upon his return to the Azores, Senhor Raposa would share stories of his adventures around the world in his secret drinking den. Special drinks and cocktails would be enjoyed late into the evening. The only way to discover the secret drinking den is to be invited by Senhor Raposa himself. Read more.

Baleia Gin: HELPING WHALE CONSERVATION

A DONATION MADE WITH EVERY BALEIA & TONIC SERVED: As part of our commitment to a sustainable future for the Azores, €1 is donated from every Baleia & Tonic sold to The Ocean Azores Foundation. In addition €2 is donated for each bottle sold at The Gin Library.

The Gin List

Check out the list of all our gins here. Interested in coming for a free gin masterclass or perhaps just dropping by with a gin we don’t have in return for a bottle of Baleia? The Gin Library has over 600 gins for you to check out and enjoy.

LOW WASTE | SUSTAINABILITY

A LOW WASTE BAR: The Gin Library as part of The Solar Branco Eco Estate aims to recycle and reuse as much as possible. Rocha Negroni and Baleia bottles are returned to the distillery for washing and reuse. All our paper, glass and plastic is sorted on-site and taken for recycling. Our waste snacks and food is given to our free range chickens (if Senhor Miguel and Nuno don’t get to it first.) Leftover garnishes can all be composted.

Taxi Service

The Gin Library is a short 5 minute drive from Ponta Delgada. Should you wish to take a taxi to us, we recommend Senhor Carlos, a very jolly and perfect English speaking taxi driver. He can reached on +351 915 056 375
