Malfy Blood Orange Gin is a Flavored Gin from the Malfy Gin brand crafted in Italy.
Malfy Blood Orange Gin captures the essence of sun-ripened Sicilian blood oranges, blending their vibrant citrus notes with classic juniper and other botanicals for a refreshing and distinctly Mediterranean gin experience. Interestingly, the distillery behind Malfy Gin is located in Moncalieri, Italy, which is over 600 miles north of Sicily, yet they've managed to perfectly encapsulate the flavors of the southern Italian island in every bottle.
Malfy Blood Orange Gin stands out with its vibrant, sun-kissed flavor profile that captures the essence of Sicilian blood oranges. This Italian gin combines the classic juniper notes with the bright, citrusy punch of blood oranges, creating a refreshing and unique spirit that's perfect for summer cocktails or adding a Mediterranean twist to classic gin drinks.
Malfy Blood Orange Gin shines in refreshing citrus-forward cocktails, particularly those featuring tonic or soda water, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice to savor its vibrant flavors. This gin is perfect for warm summer evenings or bright spring afternoons, pairing beautifully with light Mediterranean dishes, grilled seafood, or citrusy desserts that complement its zesty profile.
Nose: Bright citrus notes dominate, led by zesty blood orange. Juniper provides a piney backbone, while hints of coriander and lemon peel add complexity. A subtle floral aroma reminiscent of orange blossoms lingers in the background.
Palate: Juicy blood orange takes center stage, balancing sweetness and tartness. Juniper offers a crisp, resinous counterpoint. Angelica root contributes an earthy undertone, while licorice adds a touch of sweetness. The gin's Italian heritage shines through with a hint of sun-ripened Mediterranean citrus.
Finish: Medium-length and refreshing. Blood orange slowly fades, leaving behind a pleasant interplay of juniper and warm spices. A subtle peppery note emerges, along with a whisper of grapefruit peel bitterness. The finish is clean and inviting, with a gentle warmth from the alcohol.
Malfy Blood Orange Gin is crafted using Sicilian blood oranges, which are steeped with juniper and other botanicals in Italian grain spirit before distillation. The gin is then blended with more blood orange juice and additional Italian spring water, resulting in a vibrant, citrus-forward spirit that captures the essence of sun-drenched Sicilian orchards.
Delicious taste and a wonderful color, better than Tanqueray's offering.
to add another layer of flavor to the Negroni, which it does well. Definitely augments the normally more subtle orange notes.
Nothing special; the orange is weak. I would rather a top notch gin that I augment with orange.
