This is a gin for connoisseurs. Christian Drouin has taken 30 different varieties of apples and added eight botanicals, each of which has been distilled separately before blending. This results in a gin which is ‘rounder, more complex, with even more obvious apple flavours’. They suggest serving it over ice in a balloon-shaped glass with tonic water and thin slices of apple. You might also want to add some ginger.

Crisp and bright with floral lavender and citrus, joined by a touch of caramel later on. Chewy juniper, fresh cherry and a touch of cinnamon.
