Gin Mist 37.5° - 50cl

Awen Nature Distillery

This organic gin, which received the gold medal in the Spirits Selection at the 2016 Brussels World Gin Competition, offers clean, fresh notes of distilled juniper berries, accentuated by lemongrass. Hops, coriander, and angelica root are also included in the blend, resulting in a cloudy gin after distillation, hence its name (mist, "fog"). An almost alchemical recipe whose powerful and penetrating aroma makes you want to enjoy it neat, but gin and tonic also goes very well with it—gin, tonic water, a slice of lime, ice cubes, and why not a simplified gin fizz? One part gin, three parts artisanal lemonade, a few ice cubes, a good shake, and voilà!

The Awen Nature distillery is a factory of magic potions: beverages with a strong Celtic flavor, organic liqueurs with a strong touch of poetry. This Breton distillery, located in Ille-et-Vilaine and run by Julien Fanny, initially focused on absinthe, a liqueur that Julien helped to rehabilitate. It's not "the liqueur that makes you crazy," he says: "we were already crazy before." » He strives—successfully—to recreate the taste of yesteryear, that of absinthes that were once given to children on a sugar cube as a dewormer. “You need a touch of madness to be a distiller today,” says Julien. In addition to absinthe, Julien distills a wide range of spirits and liqueurs: gins, vodkas, botanical rums, Swedish elixir, concoctions inspired by role-playing games… All made from plants, respecting the environment, without preservatives or artificial flavors. An ode to plants that the korrigans must sip in secret, at night, on the moors.

Bison Grass Botanical Vodka 40° - 70cl

Awen Nature Distillery

This vodka offers delicate aniseed and peppery notes, supported by the magnificent herbal harmony of freshly cut bison grass: vanilla, tonka bean, hay, and toasted almond. Bison grass vodka is a classic Polish recipe, but what exactly is this herb? Hierochloe odorata is a plant in the grass or poaceae family. Depending on the region, it is also called sweet grass, vanilla grass, or holy grass. It is a Nordic plant that is capable of growing as far as the Arctic Circle: it is also found in Canada, in the northern Rocky Mountains and in certain regions of Northern Europe. Medicinal, curative, aromatic, it plays an important role in shamanic rituals as a sacred plant with magical properties. Its name "bison grass" is specific to northern Poland and Belarus, where it grows in the territory of wild bison. Awen Nature has made this vodka according to the traditional Polish recipe revisited, from fresh bison grass grown organically in the distillery's botanical garden and pure spring water from the Black Mountains of the Armorican massif.

Pastis du Zeppelin 44.8° - 70cl

Awen Nature Distillery

We first admire the magnificent label, and then we discover the bouquet. The nose of this certified organic pastis is fresh and aniseed, the palate is very fresh and delicately spiced. But pastis in Brittany? Of course. Besides, if you know how to make absinthe, you know how to make pastis, the latter being one of the spirits that replaced absinthe after it was banned in 1915. Pastis, since then, has become a product of Provence and especially Marseille, but nothing prevents the existence of a Breton pastis. This one gets its taste from a combination of thirteen distilled plants, always with a dominance of green anise and complex, spicy and herbaceous notes: fennel, star anise, angelica root, coriander, cinnamon, orange, iris, licorice, nutmeg, clove. The whole thing is very fresh, as befits a pastis. All that remains is to dilute it with fresh water.

White Absinthe 60° - 70cl

Awen Nature Distillery

This certified organic white absinthe is the result of a special recipe that was the subject of many years of research by the founder of the Awen Nature distillery. Entirely organic and natural, it derives its flavor from a combination of seven distilled botanicals, a bouquet that expresses very refreshing notes, always with a dominant anise and complex notes of plants such as wormwood, coriander, hyssop, and lemongrass. This absinthe is created and distilled exactly as this liqueur was before the 1915 ban. To fully appreciate it, we recommend the traditional method: in a glass containing a measure of absinthe, place a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon and pour fresh water drop by drop over the sugar cube. Upon contact with water, white absinthe becomes slightly cloudy to reveal iridescent and brilliant reflections.

Green Absinthe

Distillerie Awen Nature

The result of meticulous expertise deeply rooted in plants, Distillerie Awen Nature's Green Absinthe, based in Brittany, is a rare and vibrant spirit, at the crossroads of ancestral traditions and contemporary herbalism. Crafted from a rigorous selection of organic plants, including absinthe of course, but also hemp, mint, lemongrass, and hyssop, this cuvée proudly displays its 60% ABV, while maintaining astonishing finesse.

Here, there are no artificial colors or additives: the magnificent green hue comes exclusively from post-distillation plant maceration, according to methods respectful of tradition. The plants are distilled separately, then precisely blended to create a rich and balanced aromatic profile.

On the nose, it's an explosion of herbaceous and floral notes: you'll find the freshness of mint, the light citrus, and the depth of hyssop mingled with resinous touches of hemp. On the palate, the attack is bold yet silky, carried by a beautiful, elegant bitterness, without heaviness or excess. The finish is long, fresh, almost medicinal, with a natural tension that makes it an absinthe for tasting, but also an exceptional cocktail base.

Certified organic (Eurofeuille + AB), this absinthe respects both the plant and the palate. A committed, artisanal, local distillation that restores absinthe to its former glory while exploring new botanical avenues thanks to hemp.

Absinthe Finn Blanche 60°
This pretty, round, high-necked bottle appears to contain an ancient potion. It's almost true... Created and distilled exactly according to the method used for absinthes before the 1915 ban, this absinthe gets its taste from a blend of seven distilled plants. Very refreshing, it retains a dominant note of anise and reveals, during tasting, wormwood, coriander, hyssop, lemongrass... To taste it, do as our great-grandparents did: on the rim of a glass containing a dose of absinthe, place an absinthe spoon and a sugar cube on it. Pour fresh water drop by drop over the sugar. The absinthe becomes cloudy and takes on an opaque cream color.
