At sight, absolute purity and transparency are striking.
On the nose, the first perception is the intense scent of juniper and citrus.
On tasting, you can perceive the note of tea given by the infusion of the leaves of Camellia Sinensis. The whole is rightly dry as pure tradition dictates, with the pleasantly aromatic touch given by citrus fruits and tea.
The two characterizing ingredients have their origin in the territory of Lake Maggiore.
The citrus touch is given by the lemons and oranges harvested by hand in a historic citrus grove in Cannero Riviera, on the Piedmontese shore of the lake, almost on the border with Switzerland.
The Camellia Sinensis, from which the leaves of the tea are obtained, is grown on the hills overlooking the lake in the largest European cultivation of this plant.
Juniper berries from the Alps complete the list of ingredients.
According to the exclusive Major Company recipe, the first step is the infusion of Alpine juniper berries, Camellia Sinensis leaves and lemon and orange peels from which an alcoholic infusion is obtained which is then distilled. The resulting distillate is extremely concentrated, and is then mixed with additional grain alcohol and spring water to create Major Dry Gin.
