An exclusive gin
An intense gin with a rich story, a sensory experience of a new, incredible taste.
Created to be balanced and smooth, ideal to round off any cocktail. When enjoyed purely its character emerges and finds its highest expression. After several tests with more than 30 different plants and the search for the ideal distiller, the match turned out to be 6 botanicals and the perfect alcohol content.
Origins
An MBA gin
“It was one night in May while walking through the Gran Via of the Spanish Capital when my attention was attracted by the blue lights and the minimalist style of a bar. It was 2008 and I was in Madrid for one of many business trips. I walked in, took a seat at the bar and admired the bartender preparing a drink with a high visible impact with dedication and creativity. That night I tried my first Gin Tonic “Premium”. That experience changed my life. From that moment on every business trip there has been a new gin bar to discover and a new gin bottle to take home.”
In 2018 the final project of a master was about the creation of a new gin. The combination of this, a 150 bottles collection and the research of the perfect mix brought Piero Dry Gin to life. In fact, the intent was to create a unique gin: repeated tests and experiments with dozens of different plants in search of the ideal distiller in less known part of Italy.
juniper
Juniper is the predominant note of this gin, with an aromatic, intense, balsamic aroma and a sweetish-acidic hint.

Taste
Tasting notes
To the nose the aroma of juniper is clear, followed by a heightened spicy note with a hint of balsamic notes. The prevailing note of juniper continues in the mouthfeels contrasted by the warm and enveloping taste of the marjoram that meets cardamom and ginger. In the finish a rich, persistent and resinous taste emerges followed by a hint of sweetness achieved through the secret ingredient.
