In ancient Greek mythology, Achilles or Achilleus (Aquiles in Spanish) was a hero of
the Trojan War which was fought about 2300 years ago. Achilles is considered the
greatest of all the Greek warriors and was the central character in the ancient epic
poem, Homer's Iliad.

Interestingly, the name of this ancient hero was used as a trademark for a spirit that,
fortunately, is becoming of increasing interest among some Argentinean producers.
This interesting fact occurred in the Rosary city, province of Santa Fe, a territory
located north of Buenos Aires on the shores of the Paraná River.

The Aquiles gin is artisanally made
using copper stills by Miss Candela
Benito, Mrs. Alan and Eros Herrera
brothers in a distillery in the Rosary
city, province of Santa Fe, a territory
located north of Buenos Aires on the
shores of the Paraná River. Mr. Alan
Herrera said that they started their
production at the beginning of 2020.
To offer various consumption
alternatives, they immediately decided
to sell the product in bottles of different
sizes, 750, 375, and 100ml, some of
which are illustrated in fig.1

Depending on the collector´s choice,
the latter becomes an object of our
interest. The large bottles show an uncommon nice shape, and the little one is
presented in a standard cylindrical clear glass bottle commonly used in Argentina.
The little bottles are topped with a plastic cap, which is covered by a plastic helmet
imitating those used in ancient Greece. The producers stated they wanted to make a
London dry gin that stands out and becomes the most chosen.
