At 40% ABV, VO Version Originelle Gin is a French gin shaped by Distillerie Jos Nusbaumer. This original version follows a traditional dry-gin direction, with juniper and citrus forming the central markers. It remains precise in a gin and tonic while still rewarding a slower, more focused tasting.

Its documented botanical bill brings together Juniper berries, Coriander, Lemon peel. Juniper supplies a dry, resinous backbone. The vegetal, spice, citrus or fruit elements named in the recipe add contrast around it and prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional. At 40% ABV, the gin has the concentration to stay legible as ice begins to melt and the drink opens in the glass.

On the nose, VO Version Originelle Gin establishes its orange, lemon and ginger character in a composed, precise register. The palate is best approached slowly: a firm opening gives way to a more detailed middle, then settles into a clean finish where the botanicals remain distinct rather than crowded. The result has enough definition for a classic highball while retaining the poise needed for a quieter tasting.

For GinToLove, the Perfect Serve is built with precision: fill a large balloon glass with clear ice, pour 4 cl of VO Version Originelle Gin, add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, stir once and finish with Orange twist, Ginger slice. This measured recipe lets the orange, lemon and ginger notes remain defined from the first sip to the finish; taste before adjusting the tonic. Use fresh garnish and sound ice to preserve texture and keep the final balance bright rather than diluted.
