Bordiga Occitan London Dry Gin has been awarded with 93 points at Top 100 Spirits 2020 by Wine Enthusiast magazine:
 
"The aroma is mild, almost neutral. The palate opens with cucumber and a hint of tarragon freshness, while the crisp, smooth finish brings in juniper, grapefruit pith, and a hint of white pepper. Ideal for Gin & Tonics, Collins and other cocktails" - KARA NEWMAN 
 
First created by Pietro Bordiga in 1889, to this day this Occitan gin is made according to the original recipe. Only four main botanical flavours are used, some of them are hand-picked in the Occitan Alps, giving the name to the gin. The four are: angelica, juniper, cardamom, and a secret ingredient. Occitan Gin has traditionally been made exclusively from juniper that grows wild (not cultivated) in the Maritime Alps, near Cuneo, Italy - some of the highest mountains in Europe. This combination of altitude and maritime influence enriches the essential oils of the juniper berries grown here, giving them a unique flavour; the berries are picked by hand. The different botanicals are macerated separately in triple-distilled grain alcohol, then blended before being bottled. It's double distilled in Bordiga’s copper pot operating from the late 1800s.
 
A classic juniper lift with a fragrant nose cut with cardamom, distinct orange, and lemon peel notes. It is a great mixing gin, but also one with the detail and finesse to justify a martini. Try this in a Negroni with Bordiga’s delicious vermouth for a true Italian cocktail.
