A (G)introduction to Amázzoni A cereal alcohol based spirit, with aromatic herbs and spices... If we consider the Plymouth papers, as composed in the British town where our days’ gin evolved from Dutch Jenever, the making of a good gin seems to be a child’s play or the raw application of a mathematic formula. We could remark how, instead, there’s people making gin out of apples, potatoes, wine or adding saffron, cucumbers, petal and leaves. In more than four hundred years, for sure, to gin consumers occurred to taste all possible variation on the theme. Not, though, a premium gin made in Brazil (and, after all, there has never been in the country a gin-dedicated distillery) nor one able of so much highlighting the gifts of this prodigal land, and combining its people’s purest spirit along with the respect of a centuries-old sampling tradition. Born in the enchanted atmosphere of La Cachoeira and made out by only local ingredients, Amázzoni is a 100% Brazilian brand both for philosophy and manufacture process. Das aguas nasceu a estrela, it’s on all our bottles’ label: from water a star is born. Water, transparent like each raindrop hung on a leaf in the forest, fresh like the more intimate nature of our green lung, crystal clear and gushing like it would portray the sunny and jovial spirit of our people. From all this, an unseen, amazing blend flows now out, starring botanicals selected and balanced by “Captain Tato” Giovannoni, one of South America’s more eminent mixologist with any fear to start up a revolution. In Amázzoni’s recipe, he dropt the magic of five ever previously unreleased forest botanicals. So deeply Brazilian, bravely nonconformist, proud of its aspiration; rooted on its land but at same time irresistibly cosmopolite, already multiple-awarded from World Gin Awards in London, here being declared the best Craft Distillery in the globe, to recent double gold medal in San Francisco’s World Spirit Competition. ...Cheers!
