Description

LE GIN DE CHRISTIAN DROUIN – CALVADOS CASK FINISH

With the expertise of a family of craft distillers behind it, Le Gin promised a gin for connoisseurs, and with its multiple awards, it certainly delivered.

Now, Christian Drouin have taken a limited quantity of their multi-award winning gin, Le Gin de Christian Drouin and aged it for a year in 225 litre Calvados casks. The result is rounder and more complex, and has an increase in the delicious apple flavours. Truly something spectacular

As they use the same gin, the 8 botanicals of juniper, Brazillian ginger, Madagascan vanilla, lemon, cardamom, indonesian cinnamon, almonds and rose are still used.

The cider alcohol spirit base used in its creation gives this gin a roundness, crispness and delicacy. The rose and lemon assist with the delicate profile of the gin, whilst the ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and almond give a smooth yet spicy body. The cardamom gives a roundness in the mouth, and together the juniper and apple compliment one another with heavy high notes of crisp pine.

Resting in the barrels gives the gin a rounder and more complex flavour profile, and has an increase in the delicious apple flavours. Truly something spectacular from Christian Drouin
