Pernod Ricard Malaysia has recently introduced a new addition to its gin portfolio, Malfy Gin. Malfy is a range of super-premium gins distilled by the Vergnano family in the Italian region of Moncalieri.
Inspired by the Amalfi Coast, Malfy Gin uses traditional Italian distilling methods, which are said to date back to the 11th century, and local botanicals (Italian juniper, coastal-grown Italian lemons, as well as Sicilian blood oranges and pink grapefruits), married with Monviso Water from Crissolo Spring, the highest and purest spring water in Italy.
Limone and Rosa are the two variants that will be made available in Malaysia. The official descriptions are as follows:
Malfy Gin Con Limone
Delectable Italian sun-ripened lemons and Amalfi lemon peel elevate the fine botanicals and handpicked juniper to make this an essential gin for any season.
Aroma: Zesty citrus with a background of juniper
Flavour: Lemon zing, long and complex finish – deliciously refreshing
Malfy Gin Rosa
An elegant fusion of Sicilian pink grapefruits, Italian lemons, fine botanicals and handpicked juniper make for the ultimate bright and sophisticated gin.
Aroma: Bright, fresh grapefruit, rich rhubarb, citrus, anise
Flavour: Rich, fresh citrus, grapefruit, with long juniper finish
