Not an easy undertaking but one of great value, a bit like the equilibrist on the label. Aromas of exotic citrus fruits and spices derive from the botanicals infused in this distillate, to which are added iodine and brackish hints of spirulina algae, the real hidden gem of 'L'Acrobate'. Opulent on the nose and in the mouth, this gin will surprise you
Gin de France 'L'Acrobate' from the Les Bienheureux production company is a French gin of exquisite class and balance, made in small batches from organically grown raw materials. The objective that dictates the style of this gin is the search for the perfect balance between flavours and aromas, the same exemplary balance that characterises the performance of the acrobat, the athlete to whom the label is dedicated. Among the ingredients used is spirulina, an emerald biomass obtained by drying a photoautotrophic microorganism that lives in saltwater lakes and is often associated with the algae family. The use of spirulina gives this gin an irresistible savoury and iodised touch.
L'Acrobate' Les Bienheureux Gin de France originates from the skilful combination of grain alcohol, pure water and a selection of several fine botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, yuzu, Timur berries, spirulina, mandarin, ginger and cinnamon. All of these ingredients come from certified organic farming, a testament to Les Bienheureux's sustainable vision. Production takes place in small batches using artisanal techniques, with a distinctive distillation procedure that the brand is keen to keep secret. The gin is finally packaged in an elegant Liberty-style bottle.
On visual inspection, Les Bienheureux's Gin de France 'L'Acrobate' shows a transparent and crystalline appearance. The olfactory panorama is original and intriguing, described by exotic citrus and ginger hints that blend with iodine hints given by spirulina and with almost pungent spicy nuances reminiscent of cinnamon. The sip is very rich, dry and clean, of exceptional balance, with a savoury and refreshing finish that lingers long on the palate.
