What is Malfy Gin?
Malfy Gin is a premium gin from Italy that is known for its unique flavours and high-quality ingredients. It is produced by the Torino Distillati company, which was founded in 1906 in the town of Moncalieri near Turin, Italy. The company started producing Malfy Gin in 2016. Its Italian heritage and traditional distillation methods make it a popular choice among gin enthusiasts.
Over the years, Malfy Gin has won several awards, including a gold medal at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its Gin Rosa flavour.
How is Malfy Gin made?
Malfy Gin is distilled in copper stills, using a blend of the finest Italian botanicals along with alpine spring water. The gin is made using a traditional Italian distillation method, which involves soaking the botanicals in the still and then distilling the mixture at a low temperature to preserve the delicate flavours.
The premium gin is sold in a distinctive bottle that features a brightly coloured label and a stopper made from Italian cork, capturing the essence of La Dolce Vita (the sweet life). Malfy Gin is inspired by the Amalfi Coast, “Malfy could be likened to a dream vacation on the Amalfi Coast – spent looking over the Ocean, sipping a G&T”.
