Brussels Distillery Gin Description

Brussels Distillery Gin is produced in the Belgian capital by Brussels Distillery, an independent urban craft distillery that focuses on small-scale production and traditional methods adapted to a contemporary city context. The philosophy behind this gin is to express a clean and structured London Dry profile while reflecting the cosmopolitan character of Brussels, a city shaped by international influence, craftsmanship and modern creativity. Every botanical is selected for its clarity of expression and its ability to contribute to a balanced and precise aromatic structure.

The recipe is built around juniper berries, which form the backbone of the gin with a fresh, resinous and slightly pine-like profile. Coriander seeds bring a lemony brightness and a light peppery touch, while cardamom introduces soft, warm and slightly eucalyptus-like notes. Angelica root provides earthy structure and dryness, helping to bind the citrus and spice elements together. Orris root adds a subtle floral powdery nuance and acts as a natural fixative for aromas. Cinnamon and cloves supply warm, spicy depth, and a measured quantity of citrus peel brings a crisp and vibrant freshness without overwhelming the core juniper character.

On the nose, the gin opens with clean and bright citrus notes balanced by pronounced juniper and a gentle herbal layer. The palate is dry and structured, starting with zesty citrus and coriander, followed by a complex interplay of spice from cardamom, cinnamon and clove, supported by the earthy and slightly floral tones of angelica and orris roots. The texture is smooth and precise, with a dry, well-defined mid-palate that keeps the profile clear and elegant. The finish is long, dry and lightly spicy, leaving persistent notes of citrus peel, dry herbs and warm spice.

Brussels Distillery Gin is produced according to the principles of a classic London Dry style, where all botanicals are distilled together with neutral alcohol and no artificial flavours or sweeteners are added after distillation. Its clean structure makes it particularly suited to a classic Gin and Tonic, where the botanicals remain clearly identifiable. It also performs well in traditional cocktails such as a Dry Martini, Negroni or Gimlet, where its dry character and balanced spice provide both structure and aromatic depth.

Using a single large ice cube minimizes dilution, preserving the gin's intricate flavors. The fresh ginger garnish accentuates the gin's inherent spiciness, offering a harmonious balance.

Au début, on a presque un petit côté bonbon/bubble gum, mais ça disparaît vite pour laisser place à un super goût de fruit bien naturel. C’est du vrai artisanal, c’est doux et ça ne fait pas du tout 'chimique'.
