Bottega Bacur Dry Gin

Bottega is the Veneto house famous for grappa, Prosecco, and some of the flashiest bottles in Italian spirits — and Bacur is its gin, dressed in a mirrored copper finish designed to evoke the pot stills the region uses for grappa and digestivi. The name comes from Bacurius, a Latin word for a staff of authority. What's inside is a genuinely Italian take on London Dry: juniper harvested in the Veneto and Tuscany, sage leaves, and Sicilian lemon zest, distilled from a wheat-based spirit at Bottega's Bibano di Godega distillery and proofed with pure water from the Dolomites, bottled at 40% ABV. The Globe and Mail called it dry and juniper-forward but fresher than most in the London Dry style, thanks to a stronger reliance on herbs and citrus over spices and roots — juniper's evergreen profile combining with sage and lemon for a clean, bright, invigorating character, reasonably smooth and moderate in weight, and best as a sipping gin over one or two cubes rather than in a long drink. Expect piney juniper and fresh lemon on the nose with a savory, herbal sage note, opening into a crisp, clean palate where the three botanicals stay clearly in focus, finishing dry and refreshing. It's built for the Italian aperitivo hour — a Negroni with Bottega's own bitters, a Gin Sour, or a G&T with a sage leaf and lemon twist. Venetian craft, Mediterranean botanicals, and a bottle that turns heads on a bar cart.
