Amazzoni Gin
Amazonian Spirit • Premium Distillation • Brazil
"The fusion of Europe's gin tradition and the botanical exuberance of the Amazon rainforest. A craft gem distilled in Brazil."
Brazil's First Gin Distillery
Made by Amázzoni Distillery in the Paraíba Valley, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Amazzoni Gin is recognized as the country's first distillery dedicated exclusively to gin. Born from a passion for creating a drink with territorial identity, the brand combines the juniper of the London Dry style with botanicals from the Amazon basin.
Distillation takes place in copper stills, with cold maceration of the traditional botanicals, to achieve a dry, clean profile with unmistakable character. At La Cava Shop you will find two expressions: the Amazzoni Dry Gin 750 ml and the Gin Amazzoni Rio Negro 750 ml in Navy Strength style (51% ABV).
The Alchemy of Amazonian Botanicals
The formula includes Brazil nut, cocoa, maxixe (Brazilian gherkin) and pink peppercorn, which coexist with classic botanicals such as juniper berries, coriander, bay leaf and Brazilian citrus. In the Rio Negro, the Victoria Amazonica flower is added.
Complexity of the Wild Ingredients
The Brazil nut adds body and a silky sensation on the palate. The maxixe adds a green, refreshing touch similar to cucumber, while the cocoa sustains the aftertaste with earthy, refined nuances. The pink peppercorn and nutmeg provide spicy warmth, and the citrus keeps things fresh.
Precision Distillation
The process combines copper stills, cold maceration of the traditional botanicals and steam infusion for the Amazonian botanicals, a technique that preserves the most volatile essential oils. The result is a profile that balances the classic freshness of juniper with earthy, spicy and slightly sweet notes typical of the Amazon biome, with no added sugar or coloring.
Versatility in Signature Cocktails
Beyond the classic Gin & Tonic, Amazzoni Gin works as an ideal base for signature cocktails: a Negroni gains bitter cocoa nuances, while a dry Martini reveals its herbal notes more clearly.
Mixing Recommendations
In an Amazzoni Tonic, adding a pink grapefruit peel or a fresh basil leaf enhances its botanical descriptors. For a short drink, a Last Word reimagined with Amazzoni creates a vibrant synergy between Chartreuse and the vegetal freshness of the maxixe.
