Redistilled with Venezuelan cacao shells
Sabatini Gin Venezuela
A limited edition journey of exploration
Sabatini Gin’s evocative blend of flavors, aromas, and history celebrates one of the oldest and most elegant ingredients in the world: Venezuelan cacao.
The shells of this prized fruit, which contain the beans and are often discarded, bring a delicate, fresh, and lasting aroma to our London Dry Gin.
This product earns its intensity and uniqueness from the process of infusing cacao shells in a still along with Sabatini Gin. An alcohol percentage of (79.9% ABV) makes it possible to redistill the mixture and achieve a bold and smooth flavor, with the cacao combining perfectly with the nine Tuscan botanicals present in Sabatini Gin.
Research into this ingredient and the decision to use it is the result of years of experience and expertise that Enrico Sabatini drew from working for leading confectionery companies, including Ferrero and Hershey’s. The goal was to produce a crystal clear gin by combining the nine botanicals in Sabatini Gin with cacao shells, a material that is otherwise discarded and not commonly utilized in the production of chocolate.
CREATION
For this project, the Sabatini family once again turned to Charles Maxwell, who understood perfectly that the intention was not to create a chocolate-flavored gin but rather a distillate in which the nine botanicals present in Sabatini Gin became ten, thanks to the introduction of cacao, striking a perfect balance without disrupting the original recipe.
The project came about mostly because of my passion for cacao. When Charles sent us the first samples, we were impressed and felt that this gin should be shared with Sabatini Gin lovers in small batch production
