Working with Giocondo was not easy, the days were intense to the end, he was a cursed Calabrese. I will never stop repeating 'cursed'... That year my back pain was<br />tormenting me more and more every day. My salvation, as usual, was Gil. The doctor found in Sila, by chance or luck, something unique and wonderful, a kind of mud that<br />he expertly heated in a container over hot coals. It was miraculous for my pain. The experience gained on one of his trips to London led him towards the creation of a<br />masterpiece. With the very rural technique of peating, he managed to distil an out-of-this-world 'peated' gin ... Too bad it was little.<br /><br />Gil Torbato Italiano. The only peated Gin in the world. A distillate born thanks to the richness of our territory, in Calabria, in the beautiful setting of Sila, we brought peat back<br />to light. In fact, some historical books speak of it as a real wealth. In an ancestral way, we combine our 'low altitude' juniper with peat to create Italian Torbato Gin, always<br />keeping faith with the rural distillation method. A true explosion of terroir. It will surprise in blending to give that unique peaty touch. Served neat it will leave its mark.<br /><br /> Rurale dalla Nascita. <br />

My friend Gil will certainly help me live a few more years. He knows more than the devil, medicine and alchemy were his life. He paid attention to facts and curiosities from<br />all over the world. At the Old Customs Warehouse, it was not difficult to hear surreal stories and tales. That year, a traveller told a crazy story that happened in a village not<br />far from us, called Rocca Imperiale; a few words were enough to intrigue him and I knew immediately that he would not waste a moment exploring that dangerous place. I<br />learned on his return, with a hint of envy, that he had found the antidote to the poison of the viper of Rocca Imperiale and not only that, he had discovered in that harsh and<br />rugged territory, the Juniper, which he called 'low altitude'. In distilling the berries combined with other botanicals, he used all his medical and alchemical knowledge to<br />create an authentic, rural Gin.<br /><br />I will never forget his words to describe his experience: 'the rain falls sublimely on my juniper, softening the harsh parts of this territory of Rocca Imperiale, capable of giving a<br />unique fruit, never discovered, never explored. I am jealous of things that are not mine, the possessive instinct destroys me, my hands are full of thorns, my feet hurt, my<br />tiredness seems to vanish at the mere thought that those who try this Gin will feel something unique'. He had a point and his achievements speak for themselves.<br /><br />Gil The Authentic Rural Gin. 'I never dreamed of making a gin without our main botanical.'<br />An authentic gin that was born from a true discovery, a precious distillate with a rural production method. Juniper from 'low altitude' and PGI lemons from Rocca Imperiale are<br />the main botanicals. It is also distinguished by its original colour. A true hymn to the territory. Original in blending, in the great classics, we like the idea of a Fizz or a<br />Collins. Enjoyed neat it brings out its Mediterranean character. 'Gil is not fashion.<br />

Hendrick's Orbium<br />Hendrick's Scotland<br /><br />70 cl / 43.4 °<br />Typology: Gin<br />Raw material: Neutral grain alcohol and 11 natural botanicals<br />Method of production: Distillation in a Carter Head still<br />Casing: No<br />Why it's different<br /><br />Hendrick's Orbium is a chilled gin. It is created by infusing alcohol with quinine and absinthe, making it a complex product inspired by what is often mixed with gin: tonic and<br />vermouth. The final addition of lotus flowers accentuates the floral notes and gives smoothness to the blend. Produced in a small distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland, Hendrick's<br />Gin uses two very special ingredients: rose petals and cucumber, two flavours that come together in a perfect and surprising marriage, and two copper stills with a unique<br />history: a Carter Head, of which only a few examples exist, and a small Bennet Still discontinuous still from 1864. Today Hendrick's Gin is the most loved and sought after<br />gin in bars all over the world.<br /><br />How I drink it:<br />Perfect for an Orbium Martini, with 1/5 of Vermouth, using lemon zest and cucumber slice as garnish.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Hendrick's Gin recipe makes use of 11 botanicals, some classic and some downright extravagant for the category: from yarrow to coriander, juniper to cubeb berries,<br />elderflower, orange and lemon peel, angelica and iris root, with a final infusion of damask rose petals and cucumber. The two stills used by Hendrick's have a wonderful<br />history: in 1966 Charles Gordon, a descendant of the founding family of William Grant &amp; Sons, and later chairman of the group, attended an auction where the two stills were<br />for sale. These were not just any old stills, as one was a wonderful copper 'Carter Head' still built in 1948 by John Dore &amp; co Ltd in a very limited series, the other was the<br />still used by Marshall &amp; Taplow of Stratford, one of London's historic gin distilleries already present at the time of the Gin Act, a very small 1860s pot still made by the<br />legendary Bennet Sons &amp; Shears. Charles Gordon didn't let the opportunity pass him by, even though he still had no clear idea what to do with it. It was only years later that<br />the idea of using them for the production of Hendrick's gin was born, which gives an idea of the pioneering mentality of Charles Gordon, the man who invented Single Malt<br />Scotch Whisky. Orbium is not just a new gin. It is an interpretation of how we imagine Hendrick's in a parallel universe. It is not a Limited Release, but a permanent fixture in<br />the Hendrick's range, produced by the creative mind of Lesley Gracie, the Master Distiller of Hendrick's Gin.<br />

Hendrick's Gin Lunar<br />Hendrick's Scotland<br /><br />70 cl / 43.4 °<br />Typology: Gin<br />Box: No<br />Why it's different<br /><br />Hendrick's Gin Lunar is the latest addition to the Hendrick's range.

HISTORY: In 2015, The Other Guys decided to change its name to 3 Badges after moving its administrative offices to the old fire station in Sonoma, California. August<br />Sebastiani, a Tuscan-born winemaker and owner of the company, discovered numerous documents that testified to his family's involvement in the building's construction. His<br />grandfather had worked as a volunteer and received 3 badges for his career. 3 badges has thus become a symbol of a return to the roots, celebrating the passion for<br />commitment and craftsmanship as the cardinal points of the company.<br /><br />PRODUCT: This botanical and natural gin takes its inspiration from the Tuscan origins of the Sebastiani family. All the herbs and botanicals used in its preparation lead<br />back to Uncle Valerio's garden in Lucca, to whom the gin is dedicated. Distilled in the state of Oregon with a pot still from a base of grain alcohol, all botanicals are 100%<br />natural.<br /><br />PROFILE: Produced in small batches, this delicate gin is characterised by a subtle and unique aroma of sage, lemon and lavender, accompanied by the freshness of<br />cucumber.<br /><br />Country: USA<br />Alcohol content: 45<br />Bottle: 70 cl<br />
