The world of Gin by an Italian free spirit
I’m lucky to study another interesting Gin: the Monopolowa Dry Gin. Of ancient origins, starting in the 18th century, Mopolowa arrived in Vienna after World War II, it’s a fascinating story, that is connected to those of the states of Mitteleuropa. A Gin coming from the past, arriving to a bright present. The price it’s […]
The original recipe of the Diplôme Dry Gin has been refined to meet the tastes of the American soldiers, stationing in France during World War II, in Dijon.

Finally, after 21 previously reviewed Gins, i can study and talk about a completely Italian Gin.

There are few popular Master Distillers in the world of Gin. The creator of the Burleighs London Dry Gin’s recipe, Mr. Jamie Baxter is among them. With a background of deep knowledge he succeeded to produce a Gin at his potential level.
