CHRISTIAN DROUIN Le Gin

This gin is the result of a cider apple eau-de-vie from Normandy combined with a maceration of juniper berries, ginger, vanilla, lemon, cardamom, cinnamon, rose petals and almonds. Remarkably well-balanced, it simultaneously reveals finesse and incredible aromatic precision. Proud of its Normandy roots, the nose opens with wafts of apple. Little by little, it becomes liquorice-inspired, herbaceous (juniper) and peppery. Full of energy, the opening on the palate is floral (apple blossom) and fruity (raspberry, blackcurrants). The back of the palate offers freshly cut quarters of apple and a voluptuous nose (apple tart, quince jelly).
