Amazzoni Gin (70cl)

The first Brazilian gin to be awarded best craft gin, Amazzoni is a London dry gin made with juniper berries, pink pepper, bay leaf, lemon, mandarin and coriander, plus five Amazonian fruits: cacao, Brazilian chestnut, maxixe, water lily and cipò cravo. The ingredients are macerated in grain alcohol and distilled in a large copper still, using pure Amazon water. The result is a gin of high intensity and surprising elegance, with new but coherent aromas. The nose blends classic botanicals with local ingredients, including exotic notes of cacao, maxixe and cipò cravo alongside juniper, pink pepper and bay leaf. On the palate there is noticeable pseudowarmth, with freshness and creaminess from the botanicals.
