The history of Cantina Goretti spans over four generations of the same family who passed the business down from father to son since its founding in the early 1900s. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st Cantina Goretti has maintained its reputation for quality passion and pride. Today the fourth generation of the Goretti family – represented by Sara and Giulia - is committed to the pursuit of quality cutting-edge research and wine-making techniques while also engaging in spreading the Umbrian culture and tradition around the world.
It is all of the components that give The London Nº 1 its singular character - the quality of the ingredients, the distillation method, the colour and the bottle's design. Distilled in small batches in the heart of London, this gin's unique flavour is the result of the quality of the raw ingredients used, as well as its distillation in Pot Stills (traditionally the only stills used for distillation in small quantities).
Nose:
The London No. 1 Gin starts with a bold juniper scent, complemented by fresh citrus notes of lemon and orange. It also introduces a bouquet of earthy aromas, adding depth to the initial olfactory impression.
Palate:
Upon tasting, the gin begins with a surprisingly soft texture that quickly turns dry and spicy. The palate is coated with flavors of earth, pepper, ginger, and cinnamon. Additionally, the gin offers citrusy and floral elements, enhancing its complexity and making each sip a multi-layered experience.
Finish:
The finish of The London No. 1 Gin is nearly as soft as it begins but ends with a subtle touch of sweetness. This concluding note brings a satisfying closure to the tasting, with hints of licorice adding a final layer of flavor.
