Ginepraio Organic Amphora Navy Strength Gin

Ginepraio Organic Amphora Navy Strength Gin shines in bold, spirit-forward cocktails that can stand up to its intense flavors and high proof, but it's also a treat for gin enthusiasts to sip neat or with a single ice cube to unlock its complex aromas. This powerful gin is perfect for warming up on cool autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or robust pasta with wild mushrooms.

Nose: Intense juniper bursts forth, accompanied by vibrant citrus notes of lemon and orange peel. Herbal aromas of coriander and angelica root mingle with delicate floral hints of dog rose and helichrysum.

Palate: Powerful and spicy, with a bold juniper core. The high alcohol content (57% ABV) provides a warm, full-bodied mouthfeel. Crisp citrus flavors balance the earthy, herbal notes. The unique amphora aging imparts subtle mineral undertones.

Finish: Exceptionally long and warming. The juniper and spice linger, gradually fading to reveal soft floral notes and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. A subtle saltiness reminiscent of sea air persists, leaving a clean, dry finish.

Ginepraio Organic Amphora Navy Strength Gin is crafted using the London Dry method, where botanicals are macerated in wheat spirit before distillation in copper pot stills. What sets this gin apart is its unique aging process - after distillation, it rests for 120 days in cocciopesto amphorae, traditional terracotta vessels lined with crushed brick and lime mortar, imparting subtle mineral notes to the spirit.

• Ginepraio Navy Strength Gin is aged for 120 days in cocciopesto amphorae—ancient Roman-style vessels made from crushed terracotta and limestone. This unique aging process imparts subtle mineral notes and a silky texture to the gin.
• The name "Ginepraio" has a clever double meaning in Tuscany: it literally translates to "juniper thicket," but it's also local slang for a tricky or thorny situation—much like navigating through dense juniper bushes!
• This gin includes a rare botanical called Helichrysum italicum, also known as "curry plant." Despite its nickname, it's not related to curry at all—it's a Mediterranean herb that adds complex honey, tea, and straw-like notes to the gin's flavor profile.
