PoliMarconi42MediterraneanGin(700ml)

Sans This is the second gin to be released by the Poli distillery, located north of the Veneto region, otherwise known for their first class grappas. Distillation in a vacuum bain-marie pot still ensures the herbal botanicals are infused as delicately and slowly as possible. Initially, the bouquet offers lemon and lime juice before taking a more interesting path through a garden of fresh thyme, apple mint, basil, juniper and crushed eucalyptus leaves.Despite being just 42% the palate carries good body and mouthfeel; the medley of sweet herbs accents basil and rosemary followed by citrus zest, eucalyptus and coriander. There’s also a pleasant peppery note on the back palate to sustain the finish. Juniper doesn’t feature, but that doesn’t detract from what is a complex, invigorating contemporary style where the herbal botanicals get the loudest say. Recommended in a Vesper or Tom Collins. 42% Alc./Vol.
