BALTHAZAR GIN
Artisanal realization from plants & fruits of Auvergne picked by hand and preserved according to the principles of herbalism:
Juniper (Haute-Loire), Lemon balm, Chamomile, Aronie, Angélique, Achillée, Sage, Elderberry, Nettle, Physalies, Toasted Walnut Kernels, Medlars
It all started in 1984 in Hérisson, a small village in the heart of France, where Mr. Perrier, also called Mr. Balthazar, made the first distillation. David Faverot took over in 2013 by perpetuating the style and improving the recipes. Distilled into ironing stills, corn, barley and rye are harvested locally and form the basis of his brew for his famous Hedgehog whisky.
