Gin Gil Authentic Rural Dry Vol 43% Cl 70

A Gin with Historical Roots and Authentic Flavors Gil Authentic Rural Dry Gin is a product that combines the history, tradition and authentic flavors of Calabria.
Inspired by the discoveries of Dr. Gil, a physician and alchemist who survived a shipwreck in the late 1800s off the coast of Calabria, this gin is a testament to the region’s rich botanical and cultural heritage.
According to legend, Dr. Gil was an expert alchemist, known for his ability to synthesize the venom of Rocca Imperiale’s famous vipers, bringing his knowledge and passion for botany to the production of this unique gin.

Selected Botanicals and Method of Production:

The Gin Gil is made through a careful distillation process involving four main botanicals:

• Rocca Imperiale Juniper: Provides the typical resinous and earthy flavor that characterizes gin, with intense balsamic notes.
• Absinthe: Adds a slight bitterness that balances the natural sweetness of other botanicals.
• Elderberry: Gives floral and slightly sweet notes that enrich the complexity of the gin.
• Angelica: Used for its herbaceous, rooty flavor, which adds depth and body to the distillate.

After distillation, the gin is further flavored with an infusion of fresh, high-quality ingredients, all from specific locations in Calabria, which give the gin its authentic and distinctive character:

• Rocca Imperiale PGI lemons: Famous for their intense aroma and vibrant taste, these lemons impart freshness and vibrancy.
• Pellaro Bergamot: With its unmistakable aroma and complex citrus notes, bergamot adds a distinctive aromatic touch.
• Bitter Bisignano oranges: They add a contrast of sweetness and bitterness that enriches the flavor profile.
• Paola oregano: Gives herbaceous notes that add depth and complexity.
• Aloe: Used for its unique properties that soften the palate and balance the other botanicals.

Infusion and Filtration Process:

The ingredients are left to infuse for a period of 3-4 months, enough time for the botanicals to release all their flavors and aromas into the gin.
This lengthy infusion process is critical to ensure that each sip of Gil Gin is rich in complexity and authenticity.
The gin is then coarsely filtered through a simple linen cloth, a traditional technique that removes only the impurities of distillation but keeps the original color of the product intact.
This method of filtration allows the gin to retain a natural appearance and slightly cloudy texture, indicative of authenticity and quality.

Sensory Characteristics:

• Color: Natural and slightly cloudy, a testament to its handcrafted authenticity.
• Aroma: Intense and fresh notes of juniper are perceived on the nose, accompanied by the citrus fragrance of Rocca Imperiale PGI lemons and bergamot, with a floral touch of elderflower and an herbaceous undertone of oregano.
• Palate: The sip is enveloping and complex, dominated initially by juniper and absinthe, which give way to a citrus freshness and a pleasant herbaceous note.
  The finish is long, with an aftertaste reminiscent of bitter oranges and oregano, enhanced by the softness of aloe.
