Tasting Notes

Sipping Sunshine! A citrus gin from sunny Monaco. The first-ever gin to be distilled in Monaco! The history of the Principality of Monaco is immersed in citrus production, which was once a mainstay of the local economy. Before racing cars and gin palaces, the Principality was famous for its bounty of fine Mediterranean fruits. We have united juniper berries with wonderfully fragrant sweet and bitter oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit as well as bergamot, citron and lemon thyme to convey a scintillating / dazzling bouquet of citrus on the palate. This handmade gin uses locally grown and natural fruit. It will transport you to the warm shores of the south of France and offers a taste of its magical beauty. Botanicals: Juniper, Bitter Orange, Sweet Orange, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Citron, Szechuan Pepper, Ginger, Lemon Thyme On the nose, an aromatic explosion of citrus. At first sip, the exceptionally smooth liquid builds upon a foundation of juniper, complemented by the warming spice of ginger and Szechuan pepper. In the mid-palate, it reaches a crescendo with a medley of seven citrus notes mingling in perfect harmony. The effect is elegant, light and intoxicatingly flavourful. The taste of citrus lasts long on the finish, elevated by the herbaceous hints left behind by the lemon thyme.

La Distillerie de Monaco operates from the principality of Monaco on the French Riviera. This distillery specializes in producing liqueurs, representing one of the few spirits producers based in the Mediterranean microstate.

Monaco's position along the Mediterranean coast provides an ideal climate for citrus cultivation and the production of fruit-based liqueurs. The principality's location has historically made it a crossroads for Mediterranean trade routes, including the movement of exotic fruits and botanicals used in premium spirit production. The warm, sunny climate and proximity to both French and Italian culinary traditions create favorable conditions for artisanal liqueur making.

Based on their current production, La Distillerie de Monaco focuses on fruit liqueurs, with L'Orangerie representing their orange-based offering. This aligns with the Mediterranean tradition of utilizing local citrus fruits, particularly oranges, which thrive in the region's climate and have been used in liqueur production throughout the area for generations.
