The Mediterranean in a Bottle
Gin d’Azur as seen by Annabel’s spirit sommelier, Stefano Chila’
An enchanting spirit has emerged from the depths of the Mediterranean, capturing the essence of its sun-drenched shores and aromatic landscapes.
Gin d'Azur, crafted with meticulous care and artistry, has swiftly become a staple among connoisseurs seeking a taste of the azure seas and vibrant flavours of the region. Stefano Chilà, the esteemed spirit sommelier at London's renowned Annabel's Club, has embraced this exquisite gin, and we join him in celebrating its remarkable qualities.
An Italian Connection
Sharing a common Italian heritage with Stefano Chilà, we appreciate the allure of his drinking choices. As we ventured into the captivating world of Gin d'Azur, we had the pleasure of filming Stefano at work, crafting a selection of cocktails that showcase the gin's versatility. Intrigued, we seized the opportunity to sample the gin ourselves, discovering that it is equally delightful when enjoyed neat.

A Journey to the Mediterranean Sea
Gin d'Azur's allure lies in its carefully selected botanical essences. Fragrant rosemary, aromatic thyme, and soothing lavender dance harmoniously with each sip. These flavours, coupled with a pinch of salt sourced from the pristine Camargue region, transport the mind to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean. With every sip, one embarks on an extraordinary journey, as if the essence of the sea has been encapsulated in a bottle.
