The Soul of Sicily in Every Sip
The gin's name pays homage to the Sicilian Black Bee, a precious symbol of resilience and local biodiversity. The heart of this spirit lies in the final addition of the extremely rare Carini Black Bee Honey, which gives the gin an enveloping smoothness and a unique aromatic complexity.
