QUALITY AT THE ORIGIN, EXCELLENCE IN THE GIN

The botanists are harvested in “Serra do Açor” and “Serra de Sicó” at certain times of the year in order to obtain the greatest aromatic flavour.

Harvest

The alcohol used in Amicis base are distilled grape must, adding it a spirit of excellence to perfume with the botanists.

Spirit

For 48 hours, the botanists undergo a maceration in the base spirit in separated vats, removing the essential oil and bespeaking the aromatic potential of each botanist.

Maceration

There are made 14 monodestilattions in copper stills, being slowly distilled, at a regulated temperature, in order to obtain the best aromatic potential in each essential oil, getting use of the art of distillation.

Distillation

After the bottling, a 2-week stage is made to connect the spirit with mineral water used in homogenization, opening the aromas and allowing an exceptional aromatic potentiality.

BOTANISTS

BOTANICALS

Amicis is distilled from 14 botanicals, which gave it a floral and unique flavor. From this 14, we highlight 5 that makes the Amicis a Unique Experience.

CARQUEJA FLOWER

The Carqueja arises spontaneously in nature, particularly at high altitude, like Serra de Açor. Eatable, it’s a flower widely used for cooking.

WALNUT

Widely recognized for its nutrients and numerous health benefits, walnut is an endogenous product of Serra de Sicó.

SANT MARIA HERB

One of the most famous plants in Serra de Sicó, recognized for its influence on the palate of one of the most traditional products of this region, rabaçal cheese. It grows abundantly in the region.

HONEY

The honey from Serra do Açor is different from other types of honey by its low sucrose content, its smell and its crystalline texture. It is, therefore, one of the most traditional products of this region.

CITRUS

The historic orange groves of Coimbra guided the landscape and the life of the city. For years, they have grown naturally and in a disorganized way.
