Gin typologies. Nowadays, the Gin finds ample use in both the preparations of cocktails and straight consumption. The selection of the typologies present from around the world on the market is wide-ranging.
We have new generation Gin typologies, like:
Gin Mare: Spanish Gin with the typical perfumes of the Mediterranean coasts, flavored with four principal botanicals: Italian basil, Greek thyme, Turkish rosemary, Spanish citruses, and Arbequina olives from Catalonia.
Koval Gin: American Gin with a distinctive character, realized with a unique mix of forest spices, juniper, wildflowers, citruses, and white pepper.
Citadelle Reserve: French Gin belonging to the category of the Barrel Aged Gin, that is, Gin aged in barrels (in this case in oak barrels).
Beefeater Burrough’s Reserve: a smooth and dry Gin, with unique complexity and unmistakable aromas. The Beefeater is distilled in stills with a moderate temperature in order that each of the aromatic herbs can express its character the best way possible.
Fillers 28 Sloe Gin (the Sloe and Gin-based liquor): red mahogany with aromas of red fruits, almonds, figs, and mild spicy notes of juniper berries, cinnamon, and plum.
Then we have the “old school“ Gin like:
Zuidam Genever, made with a refined selection of barley malt, rye, and corn; Zuidam Old Tom, with juniper, elderberry flowers, iris root, and coriander, angelica, citruses, licorice, cardamom, vanilla from Madagascar, and the adding of a minimum amount of sugar.
Not to underestimate is the Italian Gin production, one of the Gin typologies with a strong aromatic charge, rediscovered by the past; when the world produced Gin, in Italy, they produced juniper based liquors according to the Piemontese and Trentino tradition. Until four years ago, not much could be said about Italien Gin, despite being the major producer of juniper, from Tuscany to Sardinia, Piedmont, and Veneto.
Marton’s is a Gin from Veneto produced with the best Italian cereals, cold infused with citrus peels, cinnamon, licorice, anise seed, juniper berries, pink pepper, horseradish, ginger, red fruits, and cloves.
Gin del Professore Madame & Monsieur: products inspired by the clandestine production of the Bathtub Gin (Gin illegally prepared during the Prohibition in the USA by the speakeasy). Madame & Monsieur differentiates its aromatic profile thanks to a different botanical. Madame has as a base a wild juniper, from Umbria and Tuscany, based spirit. It has a botanical composed of 14 herbs and spices, cold infused with citrus fresh citrus peels and a secret ingredient, which is followed by a careful filtration. Monsieur has a spicier aromatic profile: cardamom, lavender, camomile, orange, and juniper more dominant than in the Madame.
Among the interesting news, in the world of Gin, we’ll find one of the most historic brands in the tradition of the Italian spirit industry:
Luxardo.
