Drago dell'Etna
Agave Gin
Technical data sheet
Description
Drago dell'Etna agave gin is an alcoholic beverage that combines traditional gin distillation techniques with the use of agave, the plant from which tequila is made.
Drago dell'Etna
One of the oldest legends in Greek-Italian mythology tells that Her Majesty Etna, daughter of the primeval gods who forged the world, harboured a monstrous creature.
At birth, this creature was destined by Mother Earth to a relentless struggle against Zeus, who imprisoned it in the bowels of the mountain itself.
Hence came the impetuous fury of Typhon, known as the personification of the underworld.
A creature in the guise of a giant beast with a hundred dragon heads who, out of his pain and affliction, spits fire and lava and at every attempt to free himself from this eternal condemnation, unleashes terrible earthquakes.
The "Etna Dragon" gin is inspired by the 4 natural elements:
Water
Air
Earth
Fire
So, like Typhon and his connection with Mother Earth, with every taste you will be inebriated, creating a bond with each sip that will release ardour and excitement, enveloped in flavours and aromatic herbs to make the experience pleasant and unforgettable.
Organoleptic characteristics
Taste
Complex and balanced aromatic profile. The natural sweetness of agave blends with the fresh,
resinous notes of juniper, creating a harmonious mix. Hints of citrus and spices can also be
perceived.
Colour
Fascinating and vibrant, evoking feelings of freshness and vitality. This "ocean" blue tone catches the eye with its depth and intensity, imparting elegance and sophistication. The intense hue is reminiscent of the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Density
Similar to other gins, being a clear and dry liquid. The mouthfeel is dry and clean.
Combinations
Etna Agave dragon gin can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails. Some excellent pairings include:
- Tonic: A classic gin and tonic is always a good choice, enhancing the fresh flavours of the gin.
- Citrus cocktails: The use of lime or lemon juice in cocktails such as Gimlet or Margarita varies with the agave profile.
- Spicy or aromatic cocktail: combinations with aromatic herbs such as basil or rosemary can further enrich the taste experience.
Poerio Beverage's agave gin is an interesting take on traditional gin, bringing with it the distinctive flavour and fresh notes of agave, making it versatile and interesting.
