Maxime Chapoutier Sothis Gin

The botanicals are sourced from the terroirs of the Rhône corridor. The great complexity of this geological crossroads is derived from a severe erosion and glaciofluvial remnants associated with the alpine folds. To avoid competition between the botanicals and bring out the gin’s full aromatic profile, a first batch of plants is infused in vinic alcohol for 12 hours. This is then blended with the rest of the botanicals including the juniper. Finally, these are distilled for over 4 hours so that each element can express itself harmoniously. From citrus to spices, this gin is reminiscent of lemon thyme, verbena, ginger and the sappy character of juniper. The final notes of bitterness add depth and an energetic touch.
