Description

From Silvio Carta in Sardinia, Boigin takes its name from the Sardinian word for gin and builds itself around the island's own intensely aromatic juniper. Hand-picked Mediterranean herbs and citrus fruits join it, gently distilled so the botanicals keep their natural lift, capturing something of the sun-baked Sardinian hillside in the glass.

The nose is fresh and aromatic, juniper meeting Mediterranean herbs and fine citrus. The palate is dry and elegant, with citrus peel, rosemary and a hint of coriander framing that resinous juniper core. The finish is long and spicy with a clean herbal edge. Made for a gin and tonic with a Mediterranean tonic and a sprig of rosemary, and a natural companion to seafood and antipasti.
