Prince Explorer Monaco Gin 70 cl is a premium gin born in Monaco and distilled in Italy in a 19th-century copper still. Inspired by Prince Albert I of Monaco, known as the “Prince Explorer”, and his passion for oceanography and discovery, the gin brings together 11 botanicals sourced from four continents, including Italian juniper, Brazilian pink peppercorns, Sichuan pepper, Mediterranean mandarin, cardamom, elderflower, thyme, coriander, angelica and citrus peels. The result is a fresh and gently sweet gin with vibrant Mediterranean citrus character balanced by complex layers of spice.
Aroma: fresh and aromatic, led by juniper and pink pepper, followed by mandarin, citrus peel and delicate herbal nuances.
Taste: fresh, smooth and gently sweet, with bright mandarin and citrus notes complemented by elderflower, angelica and warm spice. Pink peppercorns add depth, while cardamom and Sichuan pepper gradually introduce a warmer character.
Finish: lingering and warm, with prominent Sichuan pepper and cardamom, followed by thyme and sweet vanilla nuances revealed by the extended pink pepper infusion.
Serving suggestion:
Perfect in a premium Gin & Tonic with Mediterranean tonic and a garnish of orange or mandarin peel. It also works beautifully in a Martini or Negroni, where its citrus and spicy character can shine.
