Vecchio Magazzino Doganale Gil The Autentic Dry Torbato Italiano (50cl)

Gil The Autentic Dry Torbato Italiano is a peated Italian gin from Vecchio Magazzino Doganale, in a 50cl bottle. It is made from four botanicals and flavoured with a number of infusions. The name nods to Gil, a doctor and alchemist in the distillery's story who worked with peat found in Calabria's Sila. The gin is filtered through a simple linen cloth, which removes only the coarsest impurities and keeps its natural colour, a slightly cloudy pale straw. Juniper and peat meet on the nose, with smoky notes. The palate is strong and warming, with a rural character and a clear peaty taste.
