Create your Gin
Historically, Great Britain is considered the homeland of gin thanks to traditional London Dry Gin. Old Tom, Plymouth, Distilled and many others. There are many styles and production methods for gin, and there are no limits to the botanicals that can be used in it. In Italy in 1555 however, an Italian alchemist named Alessio Piemontese created a distillate based on juniper berries and left us vital clues in his book of medicinal recipes. All gins, even the most whimsical, must have a clear note of juniper berries and a minimum alcohol content of 37.5%. Gin today represents one of the pillars of modern mixology.
In the past 10 years, no alcohol product has recorded the growth rates of gin.
More and more small craft producers are entering the market.
Gin sales continue to grow: there is still room for new producers and for increasingly original and creative recipes
Fulvio Piccinino, an internationally renowned bartender, leads us as we discover the origins of gin with a particular focus on Italian tradition. Thanks to Fulvio's research and passion, this course will surprise even for the most experienced participants.
OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS
We have chosen the Compound method, which was called "bathtub gin" during prohibition. It is a cold assembly of different spirits: juniper, which naturally plays the leading role, is added with all the botanicals necessary to create the perfect aromatic balance of your gin.
