About 100&NOMORE
Handcrafted Gin
Discover how we started the 100&NOMORE adventure and how our partners helped us with the production and branding.
Hi, I’m Ricardo Barguñó, the founder of 100&NOMORE
I’m a chemical engineer, but for years I worked in a completely different field. I never imagined I would end up creating an artisanal gin brand. It all started by chance at a Gin & Tonic workshop in a small bar in Gràcia, Barcelona. That’s where I discovered the electric flower, a botanical that numbs the tongue and sparked my curiosity. From that moment on, I couldn’t stop experimenting.
I began infusing supermarket gin with botanicals at home, inviting friends to taste my creations during barbecues on my terrace. Their enthusiasm convinced me to take things further — and that’s how 100&NOMORE was born.
What do the numbers on the 100&NOMORE labels mean?
Each recipe is distilled in a single batch of just 100 bottles. Every bottle is numbered from 1 to 100. No more.
We have 3 recipes that are always on catalogue, which means we do re-editions, with the edition number written by hand in each bottle. There are: Braca, Sichuan and Brighton.
On the other hand we have the seasonal ones, from which we have just one bathc of 100 bottles available only during certain months of the year (eg. XMAS is only available from 1st to 31st December).
That’s why we’re called 100&NOMORE: because we believe in the beauty of the fleeting, in exclusivity, and in enjoying the moment.
From hobby to distillery
After I tested my home-made recipes with my friends, they convinced me to go pro and start my own brand.
​
Then I contacted Carles Bonnin, from La Destilateca, to explain him my idea and show him my products.
​
From day one ha has been brutally honest: 'What you’re making tastes terrible, but the idea is brilliant'.” I didn’t take it as a setback — quite the opposite. Together, we perfected the recipes until we had something truly special. That’s how we arrived at the micro-distillery in Terrassa, where we work with copper stills and 100% natural botanicals, distilling for longer to extract maximum flavour and aroma.
The design of 100&NOMORE: perfume-inspired
I wanted the bottle to speak as loudly as the gin inside it. My father worked in the perfume industry his whole life, and thanks to him I connected with Nacho Lavernia, from the studio Lavernia & Cienfuegos, a renowned designer who captured the brand’s essence: exclusive, elegant, and adventurous.
​
Together with Juan Cervera from the same studio, they worked on the design of not just the label, but the whole packaging. They asked for freedom to design it, and the result speaks from itself: a packaging that has been recognised with awards as the Laus and the World Design Awards.
​
The label:
-
A big number indicating the bottle number of each batch, 1 to 100 for each recipe, which is indicated by the color of the numbers
-
Attached with a rubber band, so it can be taken out easily to read the backside with the story of each recipe. It also makes it easy to recycle
The cap:
-
Sealed with white wax (red in case of the XMAS edition), with the number 100 stamped on top
​
The case:
-
All bottles come in its recyclable cardboard case, with the story of Andreas van Loy printed on the inside
-
There are 3 different cases: 1 full-size bottle, 3 full-sized bottles and the Adventurous Assortment
How a new gin recipe is born
Each recipe begins with a place, a memory, or an ingredient that obsesses me. Sometimes it’s Calabrian bergamot; other times it’s the scent of Mediterranean pine on the Costa Brava. I follow my intuition, and the creative process is as meticulous as it is artisanal. When I find the perfect balance, we produce just 100 bottles — then move on to the next adventure.
Our social and sustainable commitment
At 100&NOMORE, exclusivity is not our only mission - sustainability and social impact are part of our DNA.
We work with Lucirmas, a Barcelona-based upcycling studio, to give a second life to our empty gin bottles. Through a circular economy approach, we invite the bars and restaurants that serve our gin to join the process: when they collect six empty 100&NOMORE bottles, we pick them up and, in return, gift them a finished glass made from one of those bottles. This way, nothing goes to waste — and each glass carries the story of a shared moment.
Since June 2025, we have also been collaborating with Fundación Cares, an organisation that creates job opportunities for people with disabilities. They are the skilled hands behind the assembly of our Adventurous Assortment gift packs — each one prepared with care and attention to detail. This is just the beginning: our goal is to expand our work with Fundación Cares into other areas of our production and logistics, making sure that our growth also means more opportunities for social inclusion.
For us, crafting a premium gin goes hand in hand with crafting a positive impact - one bottle, one glass, and one opportunity at a time.
