Christian Drouin's Gin

For three generations, the Drouin family has been producing great Calvados in the Pays d'Auge, seeking to express all the complexity of Normandy's cider apple varieties.

Designed by Guillaume Drouin according to the art of blending great eaux-de-vie, this artisanal Gin is produced by distilling Normandy ciders in small pot stills, along with juniper and seven other aromatics typical of the world of Calvados. Each aromatic is distilled separately before being blended in a unique proportion for a batch of 2,850 bottles.

Rose and lemon bring their finesse. Ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, and almond give the gin a smooth and spicy body, while cardamom reinforces its roundness and fruitiness. Juniper and apples complement each other with heavy and high, spicy or crisp notes.
