Uniquely Patagonian
Introducing a bold new spirit crafted to honor Patagonia. Made from authentic and native ingredients, it’s like nothing you’ve ever had before.
In Depth
The Philosophy
In our humble opinion, the only way a spirit can be truly authentic to a region is if it’s ingredients are derived from what naturally thrives in its local environment. All of our ingredients are sourced from Patagonia, within 100 square kilometers of our water source. We use local apple and pear varietals to create our base alcohol and work with local communities to hand-pick seven native herbs and four native berries. These elements are integral in making TRÄ•KÁL an authentic spirit.
Meaning
First Warrior Into Battle
The name TRÄ•KÁL is derived using from two words from the local Huilliche language.:
TRÄ = valor, courage + KÁL = act, action
When combined, the word means 'the first warrior into battle’. Being a new category of spirit from the Chilean Patagonia, the name is a perfect reflection of the brand.
Process
Capture The Essence of Patagonia
Local apples, crab-apples, and pears create the base alcohol. During the second distillation, native berries: maqui, murta, and sauco are added. To overcome the hurdle of seasonally-grown herbs, the master distiller’s mother suggested making essential oils from each wild herb varietal in order to capture their essence year-round. A proprietary blend of these essential oils: tepa, laurel, mint, paramela, and canelo are vapour-infused on the third distillation — giving the spirit a truly unique flavour and viscosity.
