Christian Drouin is a well-known and much-adored Calvados producer, but the distillers have put aside the traditional French spirit for something a little different - gin! They have create a base spirit from 30 varieties of cider apple, and have taken inspiration from the flavours frequently found in Calvados to come up with the botanical recipe, which features lemon, ginger, rose, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and almond.
Crisp and bright with floral lavender and citrus, joined by a touch of caramel later on. Chewy juniper, fresh cherry and a touch of cinnamon.
Excellent gin, smooth and very light on the juniper.
This is one of my favourite gins. The flavour is unique and gives a real nod to Calvados.
It’s one of my favorites. I love that apple taste because it makes it special.
