Brana - Espelette Pepper Gin - 43%
The Domaine Brana is located in Ossès, in the heart of the prestigious Basque Country. Since 1974, Étienne Brana and his wife Adrienne have founded this family distillery by planting their own orchard of William pear trees, a symbol of an exceptional terroir. A true self-taught expert, Étienne mastered the ancestral art of distillation and built his own traditional distillery. Today, their children Martine and Jean continue this unique heritage. Martine, a passionate distiller, has modernized and enriched this family know-how by combining fruits, spices, and local plants. The fruit brandies and liqueurs of the estate are obtained through meticulous maceration or distillation, carried out in traditional copper pot stills, a guarantee of authenticity and superior quality.
The Brana Gin is an exceptional Espelette Pepper Gin, using the only pepper spice produced in France recognized by a protected designation of origin (PDO). The noble ingredients composing this recipe are carefully macerated before being distilled in small batches in a traditional copper still. After distillation, the gin is refined in small stainless steel tanks where the quality of the esters is rigorously controlled, thus ensuring bottling at the optimal moment. This artisanal gin combines finesse, character, and Basque typicity, perfect for enthusiasts seeking authenticity and unique flavors.
