Le Gin

Presentation

At the origin of the creation of Le Gin de Christian Drouin, Guillaume Drouin sought botanicals that could complement and enhance the balance between juniper and cider apples.

After distilling numerous botanicals separately, a final selection of eight plants was made—all, except for juniper, belonging to the aromatic universe of a great Calvados.

The next step was to find a way to create harmony among these eight aromas, much like crafting a fine blend: searching for the right proportions, adjusting the recipe. Ultimately, it was understood that this method would only allow working in small batches. The plant-by-plant distillation process required adjusting the proportions each time to achieve the best blend.

Le Gin de Christian Drouin is the only gin composed of over 30 varieties of apples and 8 botanicals. Each botanical is distilled separately before being recombined in a unique proportion for each batch.

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

The packaging links the worlds of Calvados and gin. Christian Drouin's signature and the wax seal complete the message of a handcrafted spirit steeped in tradition.
