Malfy Gin is a brand of gin bottled in Italy, distilled by Torino Distillati, and distributed by Pernod Ricard.
The brand was acquired by Pernod Ricard in 2019. In 2015, Biggar & Leith was formed, to develop spirits from small, family-owned distilleries in Europe. [1] The company approached the Vergnano family, which has been distilling gin since the 1970s at Torino Distillati in Moncalieri in the Piedmont region of Italy. [2] [3] [4] Malfy Originale and Malfy Gin Con Limone were launched in the United States in March 2016, [5] [6] and are available in 40 countries as of October 2017. [7] Distilled by the Vergnano family at their distillery, Malfy was the first Italian gin to be imported into the US. [1] [8] Gin is typically considered to have originated in Holland in the 17th century, but the company asserts that monks in Italy were distilling juniper-based medicinal spirits as far back as 1050. [2] [9]
For Malfy Gin Con Limone, a mix of Amalfi Coast and Sicilian lemon peels are steeped in alcohol made from Italian grain, and pressed in a traditional basket press. [2] [3] [9] The extract is added to the mix of botanicals: juniper from Italian berries, coriander, cassia, licorice, grapefruit peel and orange peel, and distilled in a vacuum still at a low temperature. [4] [10] It is bottled at 41% abv. [4] The taste has been compared to limoncello. [2] The Chicago Tribune said it "features a bit of bitter lemon-rind character crossed with a dash of lurking sweetness," with the botanicals in the background. [11]
Malfy Gin Originale combines Italian juniper and five botanicals with Italian winter wheat spirit and is bottled at 41% abv, using water from Monviso. [7]
