Gin description
Luigi Iula and Salvatore Romano are partners and friends with an innate passion for cocktails and cooking. That explains the birth of Barz8 in Torino, one of Italy’s best bars, and Punto di Vista restaurant where guests can pair dishes with their cocktails. The menu offers more than 160 types of gin, but the young men wanted something very personal and unique, so they created their own gin, Be8. Harmonious and balanced, it is made by the steeping process, that is the distillation of botanical extracts singly, followed by assembly and redistillation twice in a copper still on a organic grain alcohol base. The botanicals most evident on the nose are juniper, cardamom and cyclamen. On the palate, the seeds and roots of angelica confer an earthy note, coriander seeds give a spicy sensation, black pepper revives the palate and licorice root enhances the balsamic notes on the finish – pine needles and menthol.
