Guillaume Drouin has created this hand-crafted Gin using the art of blending developed for classic spirits. It is produced by distillation of ciders in three small Normandy copper pot stills, and by the distillation of Juniper and seven other aromatic plants typical of the world of Calvados. Each one is distilled separately before being blended in unique proportions for a batch of 2,850 bottles. This gin is in fact a cider apple eau-de-vie from Normandy in which juniper berries, ginger, vanilla, lemon, cardamom, cinnamon, rose petals and almonds have been macerated. Remarkably well-balanced, it simultaneously reveals finesse and incredible aromatic precision. Proud of its Normandy roots, the nose opens with wafts of apple. Little by little, it becomes liquorice-inspired, herbaceous (juniper) and peppery. Full of energy, the opening on the palate is floral (apple blossom) and fruity (raspberry, blackcurrants). The back of the palate offers freshly cut quarters of apple and a voluptuous nose (apple tart, quince jelly).   For more Christian Drouin, CLICK HERE

"A NATURAL GENEROSITY" All the ingredients coming into the composition of GENEROUS are natural: Juniper, Citrus, Mandarin, Red Pepper, Jasmin & Elder Flower. Some of them are produced by maceration, others by distillation, using exclusively traditional methods. This naturality can be clearly perceived in the tasting: the style is clear, the flavours are precised and well harmonised. TASTING NOTES: COLOUR Light and shiny texture. NOSE Fine and floral. Dominant base of juniper, softened by the white flowers (elderflower, jasmine). TASTE A beautiful aromatic explosion of citrus fruits and spices highlighting the freshness of the juniper, with sweet floral notes and traces of jasmine.

Saffron Gin draws all its harmony from the interaction between the spicy character of saffron and the bitterness of the juniper contained in the gin Gabriel BOUDIER, which remains an unequalled Gin thanks to a selection of the best natural ingredients. This is magic wording. Saffron brings remarkable roundness and sweetness when combined with juniper, the “master ingredient of gin”. Its sublime orange colour attracts covetousness, and the bottle adorned with crocus flowers (saffron flowers) embossed in its glassware is in itself a sign of Maison Gabriel BOUDIER.

Calvados Christian Drouin keeps exploring new flavour associations. After launching Le Gin de Christian Drouin in 2015, the only Gin elaborated using over 30 varieties of cider apples and 7 aromatic spices, carefully selected for their perfect match with apple and juniper aromas, Guillaume Drouin signs a new blend devoted to red berries. The same principles have presided the making of Carmina as they did for the original version of Le Gin: each aromatic ingredient is macerated and then separately distilled to optimize the extraction of aromas. The distillates are then assembled before bottling.   Carmina has a summer-like bouquet. It mixes fruit and flowers, using not only juniper and Normandy cider apple varieties but also raspberries, blackcurrants, elder flowers, vanilla, lemon and orange. The packaging of Carmina respects the identity of Le Gin de Christian Drouin; however, the colour code is carmine as a reminder of the domineering aromas of this new gourmet gin with its hints of raspberries and blackcurrants.   Limited edition: only 8550 bottles will be marketed. Tasting advice: to be sipped neat or as a Gin Tonic, with a slice of lemon and a raspberry to decorate.   For more from Christian Drouin, CLICK HERE

No doubt that if our Sloe Gin DUKE had existed in his time, the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon would have presented it at his table. This Sloe Gin, with its brilliant grenadine colour, pays tribute to this prince representing the incarnation of the alliance between Burgundy and England. Its notes of almonds and candied fruits from macerated sloe berries, combined with the subtle power of juniper, make it an elegantly balanced spirit, perfect for pure tasting or to enhance your creative cocktails.

This new gin has a new star ingredient: pear.  We have blended a variety of pear traditionally used to make pear cider in Normandy, known as Domfront, with juniper, vanilla, lemon, black pepper and iris root. A typical Norman cottage will have irises growing along the ridge of the thatched roof.  Pira is crafted according to our original gin recipe, in which each ingredient is macerated and distilled separately in order to extract the full aroma. The distillates are then assembled just before bottling.  Pira packaging replicates the visual identity of Christian Drouin Gin, but in a luscious raw green hue that brings pears to mind. It tastes of mouth-watering white fruit, black pepper and iris, as ever with the full-bodied flavour that has forged the reputation of gins by Drouin.  Serving suggestion: Serve neat or with tonic water, with a sliver of pear or an elderflower to garnish.
