Expert's description

Mintis Blackcurrant is an Italian gin distilled with Pancalieri mint and blackcurrant and bottled at 41.8%.

The gin comes from a family-run distillery in Piedmont, which launched the Mintis range in 2021. Distillation takes place in a custom-built vacuum still at around 60 degrees over eight hours, lower than most traditional methods, aimed at preserving the fresh aromatics of the botanicals.

The base of hand-foraged juniper, lemon and aromatic Pancalieri mint is joined in this edition by juicy blackcurrants, giving a sweet, lightly tart character. The gin is made without added sugar or colouring.
