LACUS Bardolino Dry Gin

Created in February 2022, at the nose is floral and herbal, and at the palate is soft and round thanks to the presence of juniper and a strong herbal feeling that at first takes the stage but then leaves room for the other botanicals to express. Long persistent finish.

With 46% abv is very versatile: it can be enjoyed neat or mixed both in cocktails, where it gives a good aromatic kick, and in gin and tonics with a preferably neutral tonic to enhance all the aromas.

LACUS Navy Strength

The big brother of the classic versión is Lacus Navy Strength. Created in February 2023, the recipe is the same as the Bardolino Dry but the abv is different: 58% in this case. At the nose we still have floral and herbal aromas but more powerful and direct. At the palate it shows its strength with a dry and explosive feeling where juniper is King. The finish is very aromatic and pleasant despite the high abv.

In mixology it gives its best in great classic gin cocktails such as Dry Martini and Negroni to name a few. If you wish to try it with tonic water it will be amazing and we still recommend a neutral one.

IL PRIMO DISTILLED BOTANICAL SPIRIT IN ITALIA

Tre Venti

–Distilled Botanical Spirit–

Tre Venti was born from the intuition to create a spirit with lower abv, but with the flavour of a proper gin. We started from the recipe of the other spirits but with lots more of lemon, fig and olive leaves to have more aromatic power and keep the flavour intact after dilution, which brings this spirit down to only 23% abv. The nose is delicate and yet very perfumed, at the palate is fresh, citrusy and herbal. Overall is light and fresh, just like the wind!

Very good in mixology in aperitivo style cocktails or classic gin cocktails to get a low alcohol version of those. With your favourite tonic water you will get a very light and refreshing G&T. Try our signature drink “LACUS 23”, very easy and satisfying to make. You will find the instructions on the back of the bottle.

Distillation

All our spirits are distilled by Distilleria Mezzanottea young company from Pesaro that produces top-quality spirits, always giving priority to Made in Italy.

Their discontinuous copper pot still, named Percival, is a German product from the top quality company Müller. In its different sections and chambers, where the vapour circulates and purifies itself, the master distiller has a critical part in order to extract the bast and most of the essential oils contained in the botanicals of our recipe.

A true experience to see it when at work!
