Caprisius Gin (70cl)

Caprisius Gin is the official distillate of the island of Capri, with botanicals sourced from Capri. The name refers to Capri's Latin roots and its role in Roman times, when emperors Augustus and Tiberius governed from the island. The label's background reflects the colours of the Green Grotto and Blue Grotto. The botanicals are cultivated and harvested on Capri and distilled separately. Maceration lasts 10-15 days in hydroalcoholic solutions of varying strength, and sea salt is dissolved in the water used to reduce the alcohol level. On the nose it gives citrus and fresh notes, with thyme prevailing. On the palate the salty note covers the alcohol impact, followed by thyme and marjoram, with a fresh lemon note on the finish.
