Genesi Myrtle Juniper Gin Rau Distilleries Sardinia 70cl 42%

Origin: Sardinia, Sassari (Italy)

Raw materials: Neutral cereal alcohol distilled with wild Sardinian juniper berries (Juniperus communis) and red myrtle berries (Myrtus communis).

Color: Crystalline, clear and transparent, with great brilliance and a light consistency that reveals the purity of the distillation.

Nose: Intense, balsamic and resinous, dominated by the pungent notes of wild juniper, followed by aromatic and fruity hints of myrtle berries, Mediterranean scrub herbs and a light citrus nuance on the finish.

Taste: Dry, decisive and with great character. The entry on the palate is warm and enveloping due to the alcohol content, but it evolves rapidly towards a persistent aromatic profile where the freshness of the juniper marries the slightly astringent and fruity note of the myrtle. The finish is clean, dry and long-lasting with balsamic notes.

Alcohol content: 42% vol.

Serving temperature: Serve at 6-8°C if tasted neat as a meditation spirit, or between 4°C and 6°C with crystalline ice for mixing.

Pairings: Ideal as a base for a premium territorial Gin and Tonic, paired with a neutral or dry tonic and garnished with myrtle berries or a fresh myrtle leaf. It goes well with savory snacks, raw fish, or enjoyed neat at the end of a meal.

Terroir: The main botanicals, such as juniper and myrtle, grow spontaneously in the coastal and hilly lands of Sardinia, where constant exposure to the sun and salty winds loads the berries with unique, resinous and marine essential oils.

Production: Discontinuous distillation. The process involves the infusion of selected Sardinian botanicals (juniper and myrtle) in pure cereal alcohol, followed by a slow distillation in a still to extract the finest aromatic heart. The final distillate is then brought to forty-two percent alcohol by volume with pure water, without the addition of sugars or artificial flavors.

Description: Genesi Gin represents Rau Distillerie's foray into the world of modern distillation, while maintaining an indissoluble bond with its Sardinian identity. This spirit is born from the precise union of the resinous strength of juniper and the aromatic sweetness of the myrtle berry. With its forty-two percent alcohol content, it positions itself as a gin of character, clean and smooth, capable of telling the story of the Mediterranean scrub both when enjoyed neat and within contemporary cocktails, where it adds an unmistakable botanical signature.
