French Gins

The history of French gin dates back centuries when monks in Europe began distilling juniper with alcohol to create a medicinal drink. Over time, the drink caught on in England and became a fashionable drink at the royal court. French gin began to gain popularity in the 19th century and has remained a renowned drink around the world to this day.

  • How are French gins made?

    French gins are made through a careful and refined process. The alcohol base used can be from cereals, grapes or even sugar cane molasses. Botanicals selected for production include juniper, coriander, angelica, cardamom, citrus, and a variety of herbs and spices, depending on each brand's specific recipe. These botanicals are added to the alcohol and macerated for a certain time to extract their flavors and aromas. Subsequently, distillation is carried out, which can be carried out in traditional copper stills or in modern distillation columns. Some French gins can also be aged in oak barrels, giving them a smoother, more complex character. The result is a quality French gin, with a wide range of flavors and nuances that reflect the attention to detail and craftsmanship characteristic of French production.
