How is this gin made?
ARTISANAL & FRENCH
Our Gin “La Castagne” is not what you imagine…
A marriage of carefully selected botanicals and a forest harvest of roasted chestnuts, slowly distilled in our column still made in France.
That’s why it’s so popular!
An early morning walk in a Normandy forest, with the heady scent of flowers and warm spices.
Our handcrafted creations will take you off the beaten path.
Tasting Tip:
On its own as an ice cream or with a simple, low-sugar Tonic.
No additives and unfiltered
By tasting this gin you will :
The light notes of a morning dew, give way to fuller notes of hot pepper.
A beautiful sweetness although no sugar was added after distillation, very light bitterness.
Powerful and round in the mouth, with a soft veil that coats the palate thanks to the distillation in a French haute couture still.
The chestnut brings roundness but also, as it has been toasted, a fine smokiness to make the transition with the peppers.
A hot pepper comes then to lengthen the length in mouth.
On the finish, we find notes of fresh juniper.
