Mellowed but still interesting
A 1950s Italian London Dry at 45% — the history is fascinating even if the spirit has mellowed considerably. The juniper is softer than it would have been, and the overall profile feels gentle. An interesting collector's piece more than a drinking gin.

Time-capsule brilliance
Tasting Sarti from the 1950s at 45% is like stepping back in time. The Italian approach to London Dry was clearly different — softer, more elegant, with a gentle juniper profile. A remarkable piece of gin history.

Beautiful vintage gin
The 45% strength has preserved this well. The botanical character has evolved into something mellow and complex in ways that can't be replicated. Italian London Dry from another era entirely.
