Normindia

Where does Normindia gin come from?

The story of Normindia begins during the long journey of more than 6 months in India of Pierre, owner of the Domaine du Coquerel, passionate about travel and discovery. It is in the ceaseless buzz of the cities he crosses and in the course of his encounters that he becomes passionate about this country, the richness of its culture and the diversity of flavors and spices used in the local gastronomy. On his return to France, he had the idea of associating his Normandy roots with the dynamism of this country he so much enjoyed discovering. After a few months of research, it is in an old family book dating from 1765 entitled “La Chymie du Goût et de l’Odorat” approved by Louis XV – King of France, that he discovers a recipe for a distillate of juniper. The marriage of cultures will be sealed by a Gin, a spirit that lends itself perfectly to the combination of flavors of these two countries so far from each other. Then begins a long work of research and development, then selection of spices and botanicals that will be used to give this Gin a unique taste. Then comes the first maceration and micro-distillation in the laboratory. During this delicate stage, Pierre surrounds himself with a team of seasoned aromaticians, oenologists and master distillers.

How is this gin made?

Two years of work, testing, tasting to arrive at a balanced recipe in which the fifteen ingredients are meticulously dosed and the macerate is then distilled in a small traditional column of Calvados. Normindia is a fresh and fruity gin reminiscent of the young Calvados of the House of Coquerel, evolving towards notes of sweet and floral spices inviting to travel.

That’s why it’s so popular!

A lot of passion, love and an original maceration: apple, oranges, a few cinnamon sticks, a handful of coriander, a good dose of juniper, a pinch of clove, a hint of ginger, a note of lily and seven other botanical ingredients kept secret, all distilled in a traditional column of Calvados.
