Malfy Gin is a brand of gin bottled in Italy, distilled by Torino Distillati, and distributed by Pernod Ricard. So there you have it, that is our honest appraisal of the Malfy Gin Con Limone. This is a great starter gin for those not ready to go in the deep-end and also a fun gin to try out. In a simple gin and tonic without any garnish or flavoured tonic, I feel this stands up quite well. The Malfy gin con Limone is a fresh and very easy drink – especially for non-gin drinkers to experiment with.

This uses a lower temperature and is how we keep our botanicals fresh and flavourful.
