About SABATINI gin
Sabatini Gin is a premium London Dry Gin produced through a handcrafted method, both in the distillation process and in its quest to fulfill very particular and refined product specifications, such as the presence of wild fennel and lemon verbena in the aromatic blend. The project started in 2015 from an idea by Filippo, Enrico, Niccolò, and Ugo Sabatini, who are all connected by the bond of family and their land. Most of the botanicals are wild plants harvested mainly on the family’s own land and in the surrounding area, whereas Juniper, renowned for its excellent quality, is harvested in various other parts of the Tuscan region. On the nose, Sabatini Gin appears with lovely fresh herb with hints of Tuscan countryside Then, on the palate, it turns up with a full body but not heavy with the juniper beautifully balanced by the balsamic wild fennel, the fresh lemon verbena and thyme. The final is long and smooth with all the botanicals combining to give a sophisticated finish. Sabatini just launched its 00 Sabatini Gin, made for those wishing to appreciate gin’s taste with alcohol free option. Sabatini Gin is distributed in Thailand by Global Food Products.
