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.

I bought this gin on a ferry, where artisans were doing taste testing. I bought 2 bottles and it is my favourite ever gin!
Since I tested it 2 years ago, I compare all gins to it.
First bought this at the Drouin distillery in France following a fabulous tour. This is just sublime. Maybe not your traditional gin, far from it, but it is sublime. Buy it.
I bought it in hope that it would replace the Austrailian Applewood. It did not at all, and neither did it resemble normal Gin. This was a bust for my taste.
Excellent gin, smooth and very light on the juniper.
