43°12° Aquamirabilis Mediterranea (70cl, 43%)

A London dry gin made by Anonima Distillazioni in Gubbio, Umbria. The name 43°12° refers to the geographic coordinates of Gubbio, as well as the alcohol strength and the number of botanicals. It is distilled in a 200-litre copper pot still with steam and direct heat, using a Carter head system, with all botanicals infused together in Italian cereal alcohol before a one-shot distillation. The gin is then cut with salted water. The botanicals include Apennine juniper berries, rosemary, lemon, myrtle, orange, thyme, Tuscan iris root, angelica and sea salt. It is a soft London dry gin with Mediterranean scrubland notes, built on Umbrian juniper and closing with the salinity of sea salt. It is suited to a gin and tonic with a Mediterranean tonic.
