Bordiga Occitan London Dry Gin 1l
DescriptionBordiga Occitan Gin emerges from the Italian Alps as one of the world's most elegant and refined expressions of the London Dry style. Produced by the historic Bordiga distillery in Piedmont since 1888, this gin showcases the exceptional quality possible when Italian craftsmanship meets pristine Alpine ingredients and traditional gin-making techniques.
The production philosophy at Bordiga emphasizes purity and precision. Alpine spring water, naturally filtered through mountain rock, provides an exceptionally clean base. Botanicals are sourced with fanatical attention to quality - Tuscan juniper, Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemons, and various Alpine herbs and flowers. The one-liter bottle size reflects European gin culture, where quality spirits are enjoyed regularly rather than reserved for special occasions.
The tasting experience reveals extraordinary refinement. The nose is bright and inviting, with juniper perfectly balanced against citrus and subtle floral notes. On the palate, Bordiga Occitan displays remarkable clarity - each botanical expresses itself distinctly yet harmoniously. The juniper is fresh and piney, citrus notes sparkle without harshness, and underlying Alpine botanicals add complexity and a subtle mineral quality. The finish is exceptionally clean and long, with no heat or rough edges.
Bordiga Occitan has become a favorite among bartenders and gin connoisseurs who appreciate its versatility and quality. Its pristine character makes it ideal for martinis where purity matters, while its complexity ensures it never disappears in mixed drinks. The larger format is perfect for those who've discovered its charms and want to ensure a steady supply. For discerning drinkers seeking gin that combines Italian elegance with classic London Dry principles, Bordiga Occitan represents the pinnacle of European gin-making tradition.
