Le Gin Busnel

Gin 42.7%

This premium gin, just created by Maison BUSNEL in Normandy, is unique in that it is distilled exclusively from AOC cider apples. Its subtle, well-crafted taste is derived from a host of aromas: juniper, hazelnut, angelica, iris, coriander, tarragon, fennel, honey and quince, enhanced by the delicate bouquet of Calvados selected by the BUSNEL cellar master.

La Vodka Busnel

Vodka 42,7%

Proud of its expertise, Maison BUSNEL has created a Premium Vodka that matches its image: authentic and original, thanks to the unique distillation of AOC cider apples. A new generation of vodka not based on cereals, but 100% on cider apples, giving it finesse and smoothness.

Whisky Single Malt

Whisky Single Malt 42.5%

This single malt whisky from Normandy has been entirely brewed, distilled and aged on site for 3 years in oak barrels. LIMITED EDITION. Silver medal at Concours Général Agricole 2023.

Elaboration

After the October harvest, the cider apples are pressed and their juice fermented for 3-6 months. The yeast naturally present in the skin converts this juice into cider which is then distilled between January and June. This is carried out in a pot still, with a double distillation for the Calvados Pays d’Auge PDO. The Calvados is then left to rest for at least 2 years, during which time it develops floral, fruity and slightly woody notes. Lastly, the cellar master blends the spirits to ensure perfect balance before bottling.
