About this product
Normandy’s Orchard Spirit, Reimagined for the Night.
Le Gin by Christian Drouin is unlike any other gin. Crafted in the heart of Normandy by one of France’s most celebrated Calvados producers, this spirit fuses the elegance of traditional gin with the character of the orchard. Instead of neutral grain spirit, it begins with an apple brandy base, giving it a uniquely smooth, fruity foundation. Layered with carefully chosen botanicals such as juniper, ginger, rose, cardamom, and citrus, the result is a gin that feels both sophisticated and vibrant — perfect for raising the tempo of any evening.
On the palate, Le Gin is fresh, floral, and complex. Crisp juniper and bright citrus mingle with warm spice and a subtle orchard sweetness, creating a taste that is refined yet full of life. Whether you’re sipping it in a G&T, shaking it into a party cocktail, or pouring it neat to appreciate its finesse, this gin always brings an element of surprise. In Ireland, Le Gin is a showstopper — a bottle that bridges artisanal craft and nightlife flair, making it just as at home in an elegant bar as it is at a high-energy gathering.
Why we love it:
We love Le Gin because it dares to be different. The apple brandy base adds a roundness and depth that most gins simply don’t have, while the botanicals keep it lively, aromatic, and endlessly mixable.
