Audemus Umami Gin 42% abv 500ml

Named after the fifth taste, umami. This gin focuses on savoury botanicals. Juniper is distilled under a vacuum at lower temperatures, capturing more fresh and piney notes. This distilate is combined with an infusion of Parmigiano-Reggiano, Italian parmesan cheese, which is glutamate-rich (the molecule which is responsible for our tongues ability to taste umami), and an infusion of South Italian capers. The spirit is then rested in ex-cognac barrels for several months. 

Combined with juniper, two other ingredients, and a base of neutral grain spirit, the blend is left to rest in an old cognac barrel for several months. The result is a fresh, lightly savoury gin with an entirely unique flavour profile.

Botanicals: Sicilian capers, Juniper, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Bergamot, ex-cognac barrel finish.
