Distiller Notes
Portofino Dry Gin’s initial notes are from fresh lemon and crisp juniper that transport us to the hills of Portofino. They give way to a universe of Mediterranean flavors: from the rosemary and lavender perfumes of the coastal scrub, to the sweet and delicate notes of marjoram and sage, that evoke the taste of traditional Ligurian cuisine.

Expect a classic London Dry profile: a bright citrusy aroma and a brisk juniper profile with hints of anise, lavender and lemon peel. The stunning sea-blue bottle with a landscape of the Italian Riviera will inspire you to book a seaside vacation, pronto.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
