Goudoulin Gin "Fut Armagnac" 70cl

In 2009, Michel Miclo, owner of the G. Miclo family distillery, acquired this gem with unique know-how. Had he then foreseen that one day the complementarity of these two artisanal houses would give birth to this extraordinary gin?

Manufacturing secrets

Alsatian distillers for 3 generations, the Miclo family has been able to preserve, transmit and enrich its know-how. She developed this gin with the finest ingredients and entrusted its refining to our cellar master in Gascony. Because if the still and the “art of distillation” forge the character and typicality of the future gin, its final aromatic palette finds its origin in contact with wood. For more than 80 years, the Veuve Goudoulin house has been offering Armagnacs of great finesse. During all these years, large stocks of rare and exceptional old vintages have remained in our barrels. It is in these same barrels that this gin was refined under the watchful eye of our cellar master and oenologist Aurélien, who created here an exceptional Gers product.

Origin

“Maceration of berries selected by the Miclo Distillery (juniper, coriander, iris root, angelica root, cardamom, grain of paradise, calamus, orange zest) in a neutral alcohol.
Double distillation of this maceration with the berries in traditional 1500” pot stills.
Tasting note

“This Gin stands out for its superb blond reflections due to the maturation in oak barrels.
The nose captivates us with its freshness and surprises us with its complexity. Beyond juniper and orange zest, six spices offer us an exhilarating and dynamic bouquet with beautiful lemony, peppery and slightly camphorous notes.
In the mouth, the discreet suavity reminds us of the stay in barrels, the spices are fully expressed, notably the citrus zest with a hint of cooking at the end like a meringue tart.
