Small Cinnamon StickCrafted in the heart of Normandy, Le Gin de Christian Drouin is a testament to the region's rich distilling heritage. This exceptional gin begins with a base spirit distilled from over 30 varieties of cider apples, each contributing to a complex and nuanced foundation. To this, a carefully curated selection of botanicals is added: juniper, rose, lemon, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, almond, and cardamom. Each botanical is distilled separately to capture its pure essence before being artfully blended, resulting in a harmonious spirit. The delicate floral notes of rose and lemon provide finesse, while the warmth of ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, and almond imparts a smooth, spicy body. Cardamom enhances the gin's roundness and fruitiness, creating a balanced and refined profile. The interplay between juniper and apple offers a delightful contrast of spicy depth and crisp brightness. Bottled at 42% ABV, Le Gin de Christian Drouin has garnered numerous accolades, including Gold Medals at the World Gin Awards in 2019 and 2021, and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2018. This gin is a celebration of Normandy's distilling artistry, offering a unique and memorable tasting experience.

Ce gin m’a vraiment marqué par son élégance et son originalité. Dès que l’on approche le verre, on est accueilli par une intensité aromatique superbe, avec des notes fruitées et florales qui rappellent immédiatement son héritage normand. Ce parfum donne envie de prendre son temps avant même la première gorgée. On retrouve une belle fraîcheur, et surtout cette touche subtile de pomme qui lui donne une identité unique avec un prix vraiment démocratique.
