Roby Marton High Proof (70cl, 55.5%)

Roby Marton High Proof is an Italian gin produced in a historic distillery in Bassano del Grappa, following the English Bathub method of long cold infusion of botanicals. It is made with grain alcohol and spring water, and each batch is limited to 10,000 bottles. This version is less diluted with water, giving an ABV of 55.5%, placing it alongside English Navy Strength gins. It is slightly cloudy because only light microfiltration is used. On the nose it shows red fruits, anise, clove, ginger and liquorice; on the palate juniper, liquorice and ginger, followed by more delicate citrus notes. It can be enjoyed neat or with a stick of liquorice root.
