U'Mauru 19.9 In Spirit (50cl)

A Sicilian gin made with U'mauru seaweed, the only edible seaweed found in Italy. It is harvested by hand from volcanic rocks between Catania and Acireale, leaving some to regrow, and gives the gin a marine, savoury Mediterranean note. It is presented in a handmade bottle, each one different and fully covered in stone. On the nose it smells of the sea and the cliff; on the palate it is enveloping and complex, with juniper followed by herbaceous, savoury seaweed notes. It can be enjoyed neat or with a neutral tonic, and paired with shellfish, oysters and raw seafood.
