Malfy Con Limone Lemon Flavoured Italian Gin, 70cl

Product Information

Especially pine needles are a botanical not often found in gins, but it makes a great earthy peppery addition to the gin. The nose of Malfy Gin Con Arancia is a bit of a let down. It has a slightly plastic character with a bit of raw ethanol. I’d compare it to grabbing a pre-cut orange wrapped in plastic at the deli. It’s there, but it smells preserved. Even though mainly London dry gin was becoming more popular at that time, The City of London Distillery decided to spice things up with different kinds of gins and botanicals to bring more variety to the gin market. Gordon’s is always a great option if you’re more on a budget while you would still like to enjoy a great gin. Alexander Gordon began distilling in the 18th century and the recipe for their base London dry gin has stayed more or less the same throughout all those years because it is simple yet great in taste.

Malfy Originale has a very classic style nose. Spice notes are slightly loud with a lot of piney, green and herbaceous juniper right beside it. The only critique might be that the nose has a touch of alcohol, with an ethanol-forward nose. The palate can be easily summarized as such: It’s lemon. But what I really appreciate about it is that there are some nice traditional touches around the edges that give it a roundness, and distinctively gin-like complexity. It’s not just a limoncello without the sugar. It’s a very, very, citrus forward gin.A gin & tonic with lemon as a garnish would be perfect with this lemon variation gin, but another fantastic option would be the Lemon Drizzle 75. While Malfy con Limone is one of my favorite citrus Martini gins, the harshness in Malfy Original— both on the nose and on the palate— makes it a bit tough in that application. This way you get a nice lemon-flavored gin that is somewhat more crisp, sweet, and refreshing than a typical gin, while the strong juniper notes are still very much present.

In a category as rich and diverse as gin in 2020, it’s hard to recommend Malfy con Originale. The palate is unbalanced and hot. The herbal notes and the acerbic citrus seem at odds with one another. The Malfy Gin Con Limone has a more zesty aroma with juniper scents around it. Aside from the lemons that are used in the distillation of this gin, extra Amalfi lemons are added to this distillation step. The Lemon Drizzle variation to their London dry gin gets an added layer of sweet, sun-dried lemon peels to the base gin. Flavored gins are becoming more and more popular every day for the last few years. A few very popular flavored gins are for instance blood orange gins, pink gins, and violet gins. The Malfy distillery is located in Moncalieri outside the city of Torino, an area famous for its fine wines and spirits. It is here that Malfy gin is produced with its loving tones of citrus, a flavour very dear to the hearts of every Italian, producing a truly unique gin that encapsulates this zesty fresh taste.

With it’s astonishing, nearly neon color Malfy Gin Con Arancia is a fun tool for bartenders to play with. I found its flavor to be a bit off in the couple mixing applications I tried; the soapiness was still present with tonic. Firstly, they use Sicilian Blood Oranges which are a protected type of blood orange only grown in (yup, you guessed it), Sicily. They’ve also been called Maltese oranges. The gin is a premium Italian gin, which might not be the first place you associate with the new wave of gins taking over the world. We were excited to try it because it isn’t something that we’re that familiar with. It is distilled at Torino Distillati in Moncalieri, Italy. So there you have it, that is our honest appraisal of the Malfy Gin Con Limone. This is a great starter gin for those not ready to go in the deep-end and also a fun gin to try out.

It is very easy to make. Can you pour a few ingredients into a glass? Then you can make this drink! Make a bigger batch. I haven't personally made a big batch of these drinks, but I don't see why it can't be done! At the very least, you can combine all of the ingredients except the club soda, pour out a bunch of glasses, and then top it all off with club soda. Malfy Gin is made using vacuum distillation, which is also called cold distillation. This uses a lower temperature and is how we keep our botanicals fresh and flavourful. It is a newer gin technique that is aimed at retaining as much flavour in the gins versus a more traditional method that breakdowns the botanicals.

As a bartender, I've tried countless spirits and mixers, but one brand that never fails to impress me is Malfy Gin. On the bright side, the color is literally so bright that even a quarter ounce can turn your average Martini into a vivid, unusual hue. In that minute quantity the hint of bitter orange comes through without any of the soapy bitterness. Overall, Malfy Gin Con Arancia

Surprisingly enough this gin amazes you with a zingy feel with lots of lemon and lime present upfront. The main focus of this gin was to still stay with the juniper-forward gin but to add a little something extra to it. On the nose, the lemon is quite aromatic and very present, while it doesn’t overpower the juniper at all. Hints of honey are noticeable scents as well. Their blood orange gin is also an amazing, sweet variant to their classic dry gin, but that one’s maybe a little less known.While Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon gin was quite heavily lemon-flavored, the Flavoursmiths version is a bit more balanced. With this gin, you still get a nice and refreshing drink with zesty elements from the Sicilian lemon. A lemon-based gin is most often based on the base gin recipe of a specific brand, but in this case with more added lemon notes. The recipe of this classic gin is then slightly altered to fit the flavor palate of the added lemon notes more.
