AWEN NATURE - Gin Ganesh - 44.8%
The Awen Nature Distillery is ideally located in La Bouëxière, in the heart of Brittany, a region renowned for its exceptional natural heritage and artisanal traditions. Founded in 2013 by Julien Fanny, this distillery is deeply committed to an eco-responsible approach, as reflected by the term "Nature" in its name. Sustainability and environmental protection are central values here, with production that respects local ecosystems.
Julien Fanny favors the use of recyclable materials and biodegradable packaging, demonstrating a strong ecological commitment. Innovative, he even ensures bicycle delivery to the nearby city of Rennes, thereby reducing the carbon footprint related to distribution. All his spirits benefit from strict organic certification, with plants mostly sourced from local organic farming in the immediate vicinity of the distillery.
The plants are carefully macerated in organic grain alcohol for two days, then distilled following traditional techniques passed down through generations, without any artificial colorings or chemical preservatives. Each Awen Nature product thus embodies authenticity and artisanal excellence. The labels, designed by artist Gwladys Rose, are inspired by ancient Celtic beliefs of Brittany, often depicting nymphs or fairies symbolizing harmony between humanity and nature, thereby reinforcing the brand's unique identity.
The Gin Ganesh is an exceptional spiced gin, crafted from a subtle blend of juniper berries, ginger, turmeric, galangal, orange zest, cubeb pepper, mace, cardamom, paradise seed, maca root, clove, and banded wood bark. This unique mixture reveals an intense and balanced aromatic complexity.
After distillation, it is carefully aged in oak barrels before being refined in armagnac barrels, a traditional method that imparts remarkable depth of flavor and rare elegance to this gin. This process guarantees a spirit rich in nuances, ideal for gin enthusiasts seeking authentic and refined flavors.
