Del Professore Monsieur Gin

Del Professore Monsieur is an Italian gin made by the Jerry Thomas Project, a bar in Rome. It uses 16 botanicals, all berries picked in Italy, cold-infused in a juniper distillate with spices and herbs, then filtered gently to keep as much aroma as possible. The recipe changes slightly from one batch to the next, and each batch is under 3,000 bottles. Together with its counterpart Madame, it recreates Bathtub Gin, the home-made style of the American Prohibition years. The style is floral. The nose offers juniper and lavender, the palate angelica and rose, and the finish chamomile.
