Le Gin de Christian Drouin

Le Gin de Christian Drouin is a small-batch French gin from Normandy, combining more than 30 cider apple varieties with eight botanicals. Each botanical is distilled separately before blending. Juniper and apple are complemented by rose, lemon, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, almond and cardamom for layered fruit and spice.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast pork, creamy Normandy cheeses, apple-glazed poultry, or almond-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Fruity and aromatic, balancing crisp apple and juniper with floral, citrus, warming spice and smooth nutty character.

Nose: Apple and juniper lead with delicate rose, lemon and aromatic spice.

Palate: Rounded and fruity with apple, juniper and cardamom, followed by ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and almond.

Finish: Smooth and persistent with lingering apple, spice, citrus and subtle nutty character.

Serve: Enjoy neat, with tonic over ice, or in classic gin-forward cocktails.
