Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Artisanal production in a facility dedicated to gin; botanicals are macerated/infused and distilled in a still (sources report the use of pot stills and cold infusions). For the Rio Negro label, modifications to the preparation are reported, with some solid botanicals added directly into the still in addition to cold infusion.

Distillation

Maceration/infusion of botanicals and distillation in a pot still according to published descriptions; some sources also mention techniques of 'cold-pressed botanical infusion' and specific variations for individual labels (e.g. addition of solid botanicals during distillation for Rio Negro).

Producer history Amazzoni

The Amázzoni brand was born in Brazil and produces its gins in a facility located in the Vale do Paraíba, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Its operations take place on a historic estate (a former coffee fazenda) converted to gin production; company and industry sources report that the site was conceived as a distillery dedicated exclusively to gin, gaining international visibility through awards received between 2018 and 2019.
