ITALIAN TO
THE CORE
Handcrafted in Campania, Italy – the home of 10 UNESCO sites, birthplace of Italian mozzarella, Neapolitan pizza, and limoncello. Infused with fresh local botanicals and local spring water rich in minerals, Ameris is distilled in traditional copper stills at Bespoke Distillery; family owned since 1899. Bespoke Distillery is located near Salerno, a historical city where the first medical school in the world was founded (Schola Medica Salernitana). The School kept a unique collection of botanicals and started the first world-known distillation experiments in the 9th century.
A Complex blend of 10 selected botanicals,
a soft entry with fresh citrus top notes of bergamot and lemon and a long balanced finish, suitable for long drinks such as gin Tonic or Gin Fizz, or to give freshness to classic drinks.
Tasting notes:
aroma — big, creamy aromas with notes of rhubarb & lemon peel;
palate — smooth, savoury, with juniper & traditional botanicals;
finish — lingering & medium-dry, with oil peel character.
