Caviar Bleu Gin Mas des Centenaires

Caviar Bleu

山で摘んだ野生の実が、香りの芯に。

地中海を見下ろす山々で手摘みした、野生のジュニパーベリーから生まれるジンです。自生の実には、栽培品種の4〜10倍にあたる700ppm超の芳香成分が凝縮されています。そこへ、陽光と潮風を受けて育った希少なシトロン・キャビア(フィンガーライム)の繊細な香りが重なります。ゆっくりと正確な蒸留が、それぞれの植物の奥深い味わいを引き出しました。そのままでも、トニックや炭酸水で割っても美しい余韻が残ります。

Tasting note

[Aroma expression] The special aroma comes from the wild plants that grow in the mountainous region. It comes from wild juniper berries. It contains over 700 ppm of aromatic compounds, which is 4 to 10 times the amount found in commonly cultivated varieties. [Precise distillation] The goal is slow and precise distillation, carefully extracting the subtle, nuanced, and profound flavors hidden within each plant. [Refined elegance] The botanicals and citrus fruits that complement the juniper berries are locally, wild or sustainably grown, creating layers of aroma that are a jewel box of delicate, complex and harmonious fragrances.
