Portofino Dry Gin 500 ml

Product Information

Egger and Raymo shared their gratitude for those who helped them “every step of the way” in this new venture. Portofino Gin sa vyrába v 2 hodiny vzdialenej starodávnej talianskej destilérke. Pri každej výrobnej dávke sa kombinujú tradičné a inovatívne metódy destilácie - od starej talianskej destilácie metódou copper pot still, ktorá sa používa aj pri výrobe miestneho likéru a grappy až po majstrovsky zvládnutú modernú technológiu za použitia vákua, ktorá uchováva arómu aj tých najdelikátnejších botaník.

Vyrobený a fľašovaný v Taliansku z ingrediencií prírodného pôvodu. Bez pridávania cukru, konzervantov a dodatočných aróm. This is a delightful gin that started strong and got better as I sat with the glass for a spell. It also makes for a refreshing yet sophisticated gin & tonic. I’m a fan. The aim of Portofino Dry Gin is to convey the Portofino lifestyle to the public. We think of our gin as the sail of the ship that carries us closer to our vision. It allows us to transport our consumers to an idyllic place in one sip. Everything we do next, such as collaborations with fashion brands, is part of the journey. This complements the experience we are trying to offer. Portofino is a destination that makes people dream. We want to show the real Portofino, the people who live there and bring it to life. More than a postcard, we see our brand as a door that opens to the secrets of our village. Portofino Gin was founded by Ruggero Raymo, Alessandro Briola and Christopher Egger. The gin was created as a tribute to Klaus Pudel – a ‘custodian’ of the namesake village and the grandfather of Raymo, the brand’s CEO. The Pudel family has been living and working in Portofino for generations.Commercially, 2022 is a milestone year. We are seeing tremendous interest in the US for premium Mediterranean gins like ours, which has translated into good sales results in some key states.

Poured into a glass, the gin offers a very aromatic nose that includes perfumed notes of rose that join nicely with piney juniper, lemon, and lavender. There is also an interesting herbal note on the nose that may result from the inclusion of rosemary and sage, and a bit of racy alcohol also comes through on the gin. The palate follows the nose, but the flavors are in a slightly different balance. Taking a sip, piney, peppery notes of the juniper now come to the fore and merge with lemon peel, lavender, and an herbal character. The gin’s range of flavors really play together nicely, creating a rounded character, and the finish is a particular strength as the complex lingers for quite some time before gently fading.I do not take lightly the responsibility we are carrying, taking a little bit of Portofino around the world for people to taste, but I know the founding members feel the same responsibility, and will honour Portofino for all its majesty in Portofino Dry Gin. Over eight months we tried out different recipes to achieve a taste that recalls the scents of Portofino. At the same time, our aim was to design a bottle that told our story and highlighted the beauty of Portofino. We wanted Portofino Dry Gin to reflect our vision and values based on excellence, elegance and style. It took a year to develop, until we launched a small batch of 3,000 bottles in April 2019.
