The story
According to the brand's official communication, Prince Explorer was created as a project by brothers Matteo and Giacomo Frateschi, a Monegasque family with ties to the sea. The brand is inspired by the legacy and spirit of adventure of Prince Albert I of Monaco and aims to combine quality with commitment to marine conservation.
Production philosophy
Quality of ingredients, respect for the territory and commitment to ocean conservation: part of the proceeds from each bottle is donated to initiatives for marine protection. Attention is also paid to sustainable packaging and to the traceability of the botanicals.

Production method
Described as distilled using a 19th-century copper still in London Dry style, starting from classic botanicals (juniper, angelica, citrus peels, thyme). Extended infusions of selected botanicals (e.g. pink pepper, Sichuan pepper and other Mediterranean aromatics) are added to achieve the final aromatic profile.
Distillation
Distillation in a vintage copper pot still, London Dry style, followed by controlled infusion phases to extract particular aromatic characteristics from the botanicals.
