Gin Culinaries - Distillerie du Viaduc

Culinaries Gin, 70cl

Distillerie du Viaduc

We are very proud to offer you Culinaries Gin, our first house spirit, the result of our collaboration with the Distillerie du Viaduc, located in Paris's 12th arrondissement. The distillery team—its two founders, Théo and Quentin—worked to determine the profile of this beverage, agreeing on the recipe and its dominant aromas. We wanted a very fresh gin, with a clean and precise aromatic palette. Once the composition of the macerate was fixed after several trials and errors, the bouquet of plants, 100% organic and French, and spices was brought together by the two distillers: always dried plants, for the preservation and concentration of aromas. The maceration of dried plants indeed gives a more flavorful gin. The ingredients are first macerated in neutral wheat-based alcohol with a 96% alcohol content, and everything is then distilled. Since the double distillation has already been carried out to obtain the alcohol, a triple distillation is carried out with the plants, which are left in the macerate to better extract the essential oils. The gin is distilled in one of the house's two stills. Once the gin is distilled, it is bottled at the distillery itself, in pretty transparent glass bottles of a refreshing aquatic blue.

Culinaries gin has an alcohol content of 43% and comes in 70 centiliter bottles. What's in it? The Culinaries gin recipe includes angelica root, dill seeds, coriander seeds, orange peel, sage leaves, juniper berries, and fenugreek seeds. We wanted it to be aromatic but not overpowering, unlike some contemporary recipes that are more reminiscent of a perfumer's workshop than a distiller's, and we wanted to emphasize freshness, for the greatest pleasure of your gin and tonics or dry martinis. On the nose, angelica immediately announces itself with its heavenly scent; orange peel and dill follow suit, and the remaining ingredients unfold in a subtle, soothing, and comforting range. Fenugreek appears last, enhancing this fresh symphony with a discreet warm and spicy note. We are sure that you will already find the bottle superb and that you will appreciate the contents even more. Serve this gin chilled, refrigerated, or even frozen for a more enjoyable experience. We recommend using a pouring spout for ease of use.
