Del Professore Monsieur Gin is an Italian bathtub gin from Del Professore, a range built around herbal tradition, pre-Prohibition inspiration and the figure of Jerry Thomas, the nineteenth-century bartender often associated with the foundations of modern mixology. Monsieur belongs to the historic core of the Del Professore gin family and presents the more floral side of the range, with a style designed for drinkers who enjoy aromatic complexity rather than a purely neutral, juniper-only profile.

The gin is made from a juniper distillate base enriched through cold infusion. Spices, herbs, fresh citrus peel and a secret ingredient are infused before a gentle, coarse filtration that preserves aromatic intensity. Confirmed botanicals include juniper, lavender, orange and chamomile, with reliable product references also listing angelica, rose, zedoary, cinnamon and vanilla. This gives Monsieur a layered structure: juniper provides the classical spine, lavender and rose bring a floral register, chamomile softens the aromatic line, orange lifts the profile with citrus brightness, and the warmer botanicals add spice and depth.

On the nose, Del Professore Monsieur Gin opens with floral and balsamic notes, carried by lavender, chamomile and a clean herbal freshness. The palate is powerful yet soft, balancing the dry grip of juniper with orange, gentle spice and a rounded vanilla nuance. Cinnamon and zedoary bring warmth without turning the gin heavy, while rose and chamomile keep the middle of the mouth elegant and perfumed. The finish remains dry, botanical and persistent, with a clear aromatic echo rather than a sugary impression.

At 43.7% alcohol by volume, Monsieur has enough structure for classic cocktails while keeping the fragrant character that makes it distinctive. It works naturally in a Martini, a Negroni variation or a classic gin cocktail where its floral, herbal and spicy dimensions can remain visible. In a gin and tonic, a dry premium tonic and a restrained citrus or floral garnish will support the orange, lavender and chamomile without masking the more complex herbal base.
