The Origin
Born from the Atlantic,
Born from the Atlantic,
created by two dreamers
ContraMestre is born in the West, where the sea shapes the landscape and the character of the people. Two friends turned an unlikely idea into a premium gin with a Portuguese soul — made with patience, courage, and the desire to create something that would honor the land. Each bottle is proof that dreams can also be distilled.
A bottle with presence,
created to be admired
Textures reminiscent of sea-beaten rocks, details that tell stories, and an aesthetic that celebrates Portuguese identity. The ContraMestre bottle is not just packaging—it is an object, a symbol, and a signature. A premium gin that stands out even before it is served.
Made by people from the West,
for those who live with soul
ContraMestre is more than a gin: it is a human project. We work with local talent, respect the territory, and choose partners who share our vision. It is a gin for those who value origin, authenticity, and character — and are not looking for more of the same.

How to describe myself?
If I were…
...it would have the serene rhythm of the waves: slow, broad, with no rush to reach the shore.
...it would be a story shaped by the sea — green light, deep silence, something waiting to be discovered.
