Mr. Gaston Gin Sherry Cask Finish
Distillerie Tessendier & Fils, 700 ml
Description
This French gin is distilled exclusively from French wheat and local botanicals from 100% organic cultivation. Juniper, coriander, some lemon, mandarin zest and elderflower are the main ingredients of this composition, which manifests itself in a unique aroma explosion. The three-month ageing in Pedro Jiménez sherry casks gives the distillate a surprisingly soft touch with delicate sweetness. Très gourmand!

Cognac
Cognac: Hochprozentig edel
Das idyllisch am Fluss Charente gelegene Cognac ist eine französische Kleinstadt wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Es liegt im Herzen einer Weinbauregion, deren Rebfläche von fast 80.000 Hektar fast ausschliesslich der Weinbrand-Herstellung dient. In den ausgedehnten Kellern der prestigeträchtigen Cognac-Häusern reifen diese Destillate jahrelang ihrer Genussreife entgegen. Die exklusivsten Cognacs schlummern oft fünfzig oder mehr Jahre in Eichenfässern, bis sie in edlen Karaffen zum Verkauf angeboten werden.

France – Philosophy in a bottle
According to French philosophy, wine should be an expression of the soil and climate. They use the word “terroir” to describe this. Terroir makes every wine different, and many especially good. French wine is regarded worldwide as an expression of cultural perfection. The French believe that humans are responsible for the quality of the berries, the vine variety for their character, and nature for the quantity. This philosophy can be expressed succinctly as: “the truth is the vineyard, not the man.”
