Description: GUD gin bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, staying true to the British legacy of London Dry Gin. Its distinctive flavour arises from a harmonious blend of 20 botanicals sourced from various landscapes: the classical English garden with its roses, the geometric Italian garden featuring citrus fruits, Mediterranean evergreen shrubs, roots, wild berries, and exotic herbs from the former British Empire.

Botanicals:
- Citrus Fruits – the first notes to be perceived are those of citrus, in particular cedar and bergamot from Calabria. The combination of these two fruits gives GUD its fresh and decisive flavour. The more subtle notes of Ligurian chinotto soften the citrus component, granting GUD complexity and breadth, while the Sicilian lemon instils continuity and tradition within the flavour.
- Flowers – the floral scents of roses and neroli follow immediately after, skilfully blended. The four roses used were selected with care to make different aromatic and chromatic contributions. The notes of peach, romantica rose, almond and honey contribute to the unmistakable aroma of the gin. Their colours enrich its elegance.
- Wood and spices – at the very end, the fresh and balsamic notes, typical of the undergrowth, of pepper grass, myrtle, walnut husk and azarole, are released, accompanied by the woodiness of oak and angelica, thus giving the gin persistence and body, both olfactory and tactile. The petit grain harmonizes the perceptive transition from the citrus top notes to the woody base notes, enhancing the floral component.
- Juniper – throughout the tasting experience, the different olfactory worlds are accompanied by the leading note of Tuscan juniper, a particular variety found mainly in the woods on the hills between Siena and Montieri, that slope down to the sea.
