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 - Elderflower tonic
Elderflower tonic
With elderflower tonic, it is better to use a fresher gin (ex: cucumber) or a more floral gin. Elderflower tonics provide additional floral flavors that complement the flavors of the gin well.
Recommended garnish: Lemon slice.
2 - 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.
3 - 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.

"Our new gin is definitely synonymous with spring. Flowers emerging from the ground. The morning dew, laden with a thousand and one scents that will make a feast for our valiant bees. A single sip will take you there.
Floral, delicate, distinguished. Made 100% from the honey of our own hives, we have showcased flowers and herbs that wonderfully complement the waxy, floral character of our honey eau-de-vie, such as the classic juniper berries, amber flowers, angelica roots and sweetfern catkins."
