Duty Free Global to launch Brazilian gin Amázzoni at Summit of the Americas
Three varieties of Amázzoni Gin will be showcased at the Summit of the Americas
Duty Free Global (DFG) has announced that it will be bringing, Amázzoni is the No. 1 selling Brazilian gin, to IAADFS Summit of the Americas in West Palm Beach, Florida.
According to the company, "Amázzoni is the first exclusive gin distillery in Brazil and the largest craft gin distillery in Latin America. They are the only Latin American distillery to win the Best World Craft Producer of the Year and Distiller of the Year at the World Gin Awards (2018 and 2021)."
Arturo Isola, one of the founders of Amázzoni, will be in attendance at the show to guide customers in a tasting through the range and tell the story of the brand and its Amazon rainforest sourced botanicals.
"Since the very beginning, Amázzoni has been supporting the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest through a partnership with the NGO Vem do Xingu, an arrangement with a network of 27 canteens linked to 14 local associations from five Indigenous Lands and three Extractive Reserves in a territory of about nine million hectares of conserved Amazon forests. This network is fundamental as a space for strengthening traditional peoples to deal with the countless pressures suffered by the forest and its people in one of the most threatened regions of the Amazon Rainforest. The Amazon’s forests and waters make it the most important terrestrial biome on the planet and that is why Amázzoni dedicates its work to the preservation of the forest."
"Amázzoni is also an ecologically sustainable and zero-waste project,” Isola says. “This ethos applies to all the measures taken at our distillery to reduce our impact on the planet. We reuse all the waste generated by the distillation process and use water from natural springs inside our farm.”
Amázzoni has also set up a social program with the neighboring municipality to train 12 women from the nearby small town of Porto Real to give them work at the distillery.
The Amázzoni Gins to be shown at the Summit of the Americas include:
- Amázzoni Gin – 42% ABV - the first craft gin of Brazil. This London dry gin is distilled from pure cereal alcohol and natural spring water. With five botanicals exclusively from Brazil and the Amazonian rainforest and five more classic gin botanicals.
