ORIGINS
Capri and Monti Aurunci
Blue Scorpio Gin is an exceptional product, a subtle blend of authentic ingredients selected with great care. Its savvy blend of 12 botanicals includes lemons of course; these are from a small producer on Capri, the famed island off the coast of Naples. But the blend also includes a lesser-known herb, a wild sage that derives its delicate flavour from the rocky soil of the Monti Aurunci. This mountain range, in an area protected by a regional nature park, juts up above the city of Formia, in the province of Lazio.
While Blue Scorpio Gin's two key ingredients come directly from Italy, its distillation is a pure product of Belgian craftsmanship. The De Cort distillery, located in Pepingen in Pajottenland, is a small family business in which the importance of tradition is matched only by the passion of the master distiller. Its genuine copper still produces a product of great purity and smoothness, with no loss of taste. The result is Blue Scorpio Gin, distilled as London Dry Gin in small batches using a traditional process.

Here's what the jury had to say: "This medal testifies to the quality of your product and the care taken in developing it. It is proof that the competition jury has recognized it as one of the best in its category".
Double gold at World Spirits Trophy 2023
Oaked Scorpio is the result of Alessandro Di Sarno's idea to age Blue Scorpio in French oak. Round and delicate, this gin surprises with fresh, intense notes of caramel, vanilla and roasted hazelnuts. Full and enveloping, the wood gives depth and prominence to juniper and sage.
Produced as a limited edition in small, hand-numbered batches, Oaked Scorpio stands out for its smoothness, intensity and depth. It appeals to the most discerning connoisseurs, who like to enjoy it at the end of a meal or accompanied by a grand cru chocolate, but also in an unexpected Gin Tonic.

Naked Scorpio O%
After Blue Scorpio, our flagship product, and Oaked Scorpio, aged on oak, our gin is now available in a 0% alcohol but 100% pleasure version: Naked Scorpio.
Naked Scorpio 0% is a distillate of eleven plants, including juniper berries, wild sage, lemon zest from Capri and Sorrento, cardamom, angelica root, black pepper and cassia, also known as Chinese cinnamon. This cinnamon is exceptionally fragrant, with a powerful scent that is both sweet and pungent, with notes of autumn fruit.
Naked Scorpio expresses all its aromatic complexity by sequentially delivering the intense scents of its selected ingredients.
We recommend it with a neutral tonic, Mediterranean or herbaceous, and a twist of lime. Irresistible as a Gin Tonic with basil leaves, it's also perfect for mocktails. .
