Description: This gin is among the very few to use an open flame system, which fell into disuse after the invention of less dangerous methods. Producing this gin takes a long time, in fact the botanicals remain in infusion for 79 hours before distillation and the open-flame system requires a full day's work, but this slowness allows the head and tail to be removed very precisely by selecting only the heart of the gin.
TASTING NOTES.
Color: Clear and transparent.
Nose: Expresses hints of jasmine and juniper on the nose, along with sweet notes of vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon, with slight citrusy hints of lemon and lime, with a touch of orange peel.
Palate: The taste reveals a fine, fresh, balanced flavor with a good body that opens, refined and elegant, to the many hints of star anise and cloves.
