Raw material to bottle
Raw material to bottle
When we say that a gin is made from the raw material to the bottle, it means that the manufacturing process is done entirely in the distillery. So the base alcohol used was made and distilled in the distillery, then processed using botanicals to create a gin, all on the spot. The raw material can be grain, honey, maple, fruits, berries, whey and more.

Recommended tonics
1 - Classic tonic
Classic tonic
With classic tonic, it is better to use a drier gin (London dry gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The classic tonics are the most usual and they bring a nice bitterness that perfectly complements the taste of all gins.
Recommended garnish: Lemon, grapefruit or cucumber slice.
2 - Light tonic
Light tonic
With light tonic, it is better to use a more pronounced gin (ex: aged or juniper berry-based gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The light tonics bring the same traditional taste and the same bitterness as the classic tonics but they are lighter in calories thus leaving more room for the dominant flavors present in some gins.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or orange.

"'Gin Bertrand' is the meeting of the modern druids of gin. It is the passionate marriage of the secrets of plants and old artisanal distilling methods.
First, there is the mystical explorer-distiller Baptiste Gissinger of Maison Livernois, who gathered and shared his precious plants from distant northern regions. Then, the Bouchards of Distillerie du Fjord, Jean-Philippe, Benoît and Serge, who brought the richness of their family past back to life by using grandfather Bertrand’s old still and adding a few pinches of production secrets, such as blueberry eau-de-vie, to produce this historic gin.
It is the meeting of gin enthusiasts who concocted a recipe to deliver an experience that is fascinating through the magic of the druids, memorable through this return to the family past, and unique through the taste and aromas of the potion.
Together, we developed a gin that we distilled on a base of our blueberry spirit, wild juniper, wild angelica, wild caraway and Labrador tea."
Here is the list of cocktails we recommend for this gin:
