Artisanal Distillation, Colonial Heritage, and Unprecedented Botanicals from the Jungle
Amazzoni Dry Gin 750ml Artisanal is a work of art from the independent distillery Amazzoni Distillery, located in a historic 18th-century coffee farm in the Paraíba Valley, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Globally recognized as Brazil's first distillery dedicated exclusively to gin and awarded in international competitions, Amazzoni redefines the concept of London Dry. Crafted in the country's largest artisanal copper still through a process of maceration and vapor infusion, this gin stands out for its strictly dry character, blending classic juniper with unprecedented ingredients from the Amazon basin such as cocoa, Brazil nut, maxixe, and nutmeg. The result is a vibrant, crystalline, and sophisticated spirit that balances classic tradition with the botanical exuberance of Brazil.
