Domenis 1898 Friulian Angel Gin

Domenis 1898 has distilled in Friuli for well over a century, in the north-eastern corner of Italy where the Alps slope down toward the Adriatic. That meeting of mountain and sea shapes the Friulian Angel: a botanical bill that gathers Alpine herbs and Mediterranean citrus around a classic juniper core, distilled with enough care to keep the whole thing smooth without sanding off its complexity.

The nose is fresh and juniper-forward, with fine citrus and a subtle herbal spice. The palate follows softly and harmoniously, citrus brightness threaded through floral and herbal nuance, closing long and elegant with a clean, faintly peppery warmth. Build it into a Martini, or pour a measure over ice with a dry tonic and a sprig of rosemary.
