Drago dell'Etna
Botanical Gin
Technical data sheet
Description
Drago dell'Etna botanical gin is a type of gin characterised by the use of a selection of botanicals, i.e. natural ingredients such as herbs, spices, flowers and citrus fruits, which give the distillate complex aromas and flavours. Although juniper is the main and obligatory ingredient for the gin classification, botanical gin is distinguished by its variety of aromas and the quality of the botanicals used.
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.
