HISTORY
Designed in collaboration with Stéphane Allender, creator of the Tame Spirits Distillery, in Verdelais (33), this fourth opus naturally enriches the Avem Gins collection. It was developed using an ancestral method generally used for making Cognacs or Whisky: the art of blending.
This French gin is made from plants grown aquaponically in Gironde (Mérignac). Named in homage to the aquatic bird, Bittern, in Latin Botaurus, it uses the original Hippolais recipe to which are added distillates of nasturtium , parsley and rosebuds .
It is now available in a limited edition with 1116 numbered bottles.
DESIGN
We have harmoniously combined several eaux-de-vie to seek the perfect osmosis between them. The first is based on juniper berries, the second with our aromatics, and the third is created exclusively with grape varieties from the Bordeaux region (Merlot, Cabernet-Franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon, and Sémillon), which incorporates the distillates of our plants (parsley, rosebuds, and nasturtiums).
AROMATIC PROFILE
Gin Avem Botaurus is a "botanical" gin in which we find the fine notes of candied Hippolais lemons, but which is distinguished by its herbaceous and floral touches as well as a beautiful spicy length on the finish.
TASTING ADVICE
It's a subtle gin that works well served neat, over ice, or with an Indian tonic. It can also be garnished with dried rosebuds to enhance its rustic flavors, or fresh parsley leaves to evoke its roots.
