When mixed with tonic or vermouth, or as part of any cocktail, the lemon takes a step back and the traditional gin botanicals become apparent once again, creating a slightly more balanced flavour. But when I tried it with Fever Tree’s Mediterranean tonic water in a 1 part Malfi- 3 part tonic water ratio it was quite good. While the flavor was good, due to its strength it was much better in a more traditional martini, but not great in a dry one.

Juniper, AMALFI COAST LEMONS, Coriander, Cassia Bark, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Orange Peel, Grapefruit Peel. MALFY Gins are made by Master Distillers, Beppe Ronco and Denis Muni at the Torino Distillati distillery. Run by the Vergnano family, Malfy Gin is distilled in a modern stainless steel still at the Torino Distillati near Turin - an area and distillery with a long history of spirit, wine and liqueur production.

Also sign me up for newsletters so I can get special offers, recommendations, and expert advice to my inbox! The infusion is then blended with the juniper and other botanicals before being distilled in a stainless steel vacuum still.

This is a relatively new technique in the world of gin production, enabling a lower temperature to achieve evaporation and therefore not altering the composition of botanicals (avoiding heat-related degradation), this way we can keep our botanicals fresh and flavourful. Please note that on rare occasions the hamper contents may change, as certain contents can be restricted due to market availability.Grapefruit and orange peel bring further citrus flavours, while juniper, coriander, cassia and liquorice bring more traditional gin notes.

Distilled with classic Italian Juniper and Sfusato lemon peels from the AMALFI Coast – it has delightful citrus and juniper on the nose with a complex flavor of anise, citrus and coriander. Anyone who recommends this has already had their taste buds stripped, I've yet to offer it to anyone who liked it even enough to finish the first glassful.

What is so exciting about a country that embraces the concept of “terroir” (the taste of a place) in their wines, is that Italian gins also represent the taste of the locality.

So when I was looking to test something new this week, this bottle with the bright blue and yellow label caught my eye.
