BEG Brazilian Boutique Dry Gin is the standard gin from BEG, a boutique distillery created in 2012 by four friends in Joaquim Egídio, a district of Campinas (SP), on a 19th-century coffee farm restored by the brand. According to the house, it was named the world's second-best gin at the 2023 Bartenders Spirits Awards, with 98 points.

It uses 11 botanicals: juniper, coriander seed and angelica root, from the British tradition, plus pitanga leaf, Brazilian elder, cardamom, cinnamon, lemongrass and the peel of Tahiti lime, mexerica tangerine and laranja-lima orange. The botanicals macerate for up to 24 hours in extra-neutral alcohol, and the citrus is added by vapor infusion during distillation. The bottles are numbered and signed by the master distiller.
