Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Declared artisanal production: botanicals collected locally and infused separately (with different timings and temperatures), then distilled and traditionally filtered (linen filter). For the 'peated' version, peat and local wood are used to impart smoky notes.

Distillation

Separate infusion of botanicals (at different temperatures) followed by artisanal distillation; traditional filtration with a linen cloth. For the peated version: rural peat-smoking with chestnut wood and peat from the Sila.

Producer history Gil

The name and narrative of Gil are inspired by a character (Dr. Gil) from the story imagined and promoted by Vecchio Magazzino Doganale. The product was developed within the Vecchio Magazzino Doganale project led by Ivano Trombino; the range (including the peated version) arises from the use of Calabrian botanicals and production techniques declared artisanal by the producer.

Production philosophy

Territorial authenticity and artisanal processing: starting from locally hand‑harvested botanicals (juniper, citrus, herbs), simple traditional methods are favored to highlight the Mediterranean and 'rural' character of the gin.

Territory

Calabria (areas cited in the sources: Rocca Imperiale, Sila; operational/linked headquarters: Montalto Uffugo)
