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 the two star ingredients in Blue Scorpio Gin come directly from Italy, its distillation is purely the product of Belgian artisanal knowledge. The De Cort Distillery, located in Pepingen (Pajottenland), is a small family business where the importance placed on tradition is surpassed only by the master distiller’s passion. De Cort’s authentic copper still produces a very mild gin of the highest purity with no loss of flavour. Thus is Blue Scorpio Gin, a small-batch London Dry Gin distilled using an age-old technique, created.

Oaked Scorpio is a Blue Scorpio aged on French oak. This gin, which meets the same high quality standards, is produced using a process that our master distiller De Cort has mastered, giving it its smoothness, intensity and depth.
Round and delicate, it surprises with fresh and intense notes of caramel, vanilla and roasted hazelnuts. Full and coating, the wood gives depth and importance to juniper and sage.
Oaked Scorpio wins double gold at the World Spirit Trophy 2023!
