I had this gin at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como in Italy. It is not found in the US as it is distilled with tonka beans which are banned here. Tonka beans have a derivative of the blood thinner coumarin, hence the ban.
The flavor is unique, very cinnamon like with a touch of almond. I had it in a cocktail at the bar so was unable to smell or taste it neat. I'd love to give it another try and have a bottle with my other collection of "hey, have you tried this?" gins.
