AWEN NATURE - Gin Ganesh - 44.8%
Awen Nature Distillery is located in La Bouëxière, in Brittany. It was created by Julien Fanny in 2013. The word “Nature” in the name of the distillery already gives a clue to the importance of an environmental friendly production at the distillery. Sustainability and environmental protection play an important role. Julien uses recyclable materials and environmentally friendly packaging. He even delivers his spirits by himself by bicycle to customers in Rennes, the nearest large town. All his spirits are certified organic and all the herbs come from organic farming. The majority even comes from the immediate surroundings of the distillery. The plants are macerated in organic grain spirit for 2 days and then distilled. Julien doesn’t add any artificial colors or preservatives. All the Awen Nature spirits are produced according to traditional recipes and old production methods. The labels were designed by the artist Gwladys Rose. Celtic traditions from Brittany have been taken as an inspiration for them. Some of the labels depict nymphs or fairies that represent the fusion between humanity and nature.
Gin Ganesh is a spicy Gin distilled from juniper berries, ginger, turmeric, galangal, orange zest, cubeb pepper, mace, cardamom, seed of paradise, maca root, clove and wood bark. It is then aged in oak barrels and refined in armagnac barrels.
