Occitan Gin

This incredibly aromatic expression of gin has a complex hit of angelica root, juniper, cardamom, oyster shell and citrus that leap from the glass. This is dry yet quite expressive, distinctly different from other dry gins on offer. - D&M TASTING NOTES

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Gin was first made by Bordiga in 1889, and they still adhere to the original recipe. Only four main botanicals are used, including wild juniper sourced locally in the Alps.”

TASTING: “The juniper is foraged by hand and brought to the distillery at the peak of ripeness which results in a juniper forward gin, and also leaves a balanced and pure canvas for the other botanicals. The Occitan Gin is versatile and will substitute harmoniously in most any gin-based cocktail. Try this in a 50/50 Martini, Gin & Tonic, Last Word, Gin Fizz. (42% ABV)”

PRIMARY BOTANICALS: “Juniper, cardamom, angelica, coriander, orange and lemon peel; local botanicals are wild foraged between 500 - 1700 meters, with the majority above 800. Others sourced from different locations in Italy, as well as Asia.”

METHOD OF PRODUCTION: “Botanicals are individually macerated in grain alcohol and distilled with vapor infusion of citrus peels via the gin basket.”
