"L'Original Gin Le Secret" is a premium French gin crafted by Distillerie l'Herbier in Burgundy. This gin stands out with its freshness and fruity notes of blackcurrant buds, a regional treasure, complemented by citrus and mild spice tones.
The recipe involves cold maceration of over fifteen organic botanicals, primarily sourced regionally and within France, such as juniper berries, cardamom, coriander, pink peppercorns, iris root, myrtle berries, and citrus, all enhanced by the unique freshness of Burgundy blackcurrant buds. It boasts aromas of bergamot and freshly harvested citron with subtle spicy undertones, a palate featuring vibrant citrus notes balanced by the woody and spicy tones of juniper, clove, and cardamom, and a gentle, sweet finish brought by plants like sweet woodruff and fig leaves.
