Create your Gin
Historically Great Britain is considered the homeland of gin, in particular thanks to the traditional London Dry Gin. Old Tom, Plymouth, Distilled and many others: there are many styles and production methods that give rise to gin, and there are no limits to the botanicals that can be used. However, also in Italy in 1555 anItalian alchemist named Alessio Piemontese elaborated a distillate based on juniper berries, which he left us traces 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.
Over the past 10 years, no alcohol has recorded the growth rates of gin.
More and more small artisanal producers enter the market
Gin sales continue to grow: there is still room for new producers and for increasingly original and creative recipes
Together with Fulvio Piccinino, an internationally renowned bartender, we discover the origins of gin with a particular focus on Italian tradition. Thanks to Fulvio's research and passion, this course will reserve some surprises even for the most experienced people.
OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS
We have chosen the Compound method, that was called "bathtub gin" during the times of 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.
