Meridor - London Dry Gin 41.9% - 50ml
About 8 different plants and spices are used for the production. Along with juniper and orange, he used hand-picked botanicals from the Loire Valley: roses and elderflower. These ingredients turn this gin into something special.
Gin Meridor has a classic smell of juniper and a slightly peppery note that comes from coriander and cubeb pepper. A complex and refreshing gin with a long finish.
Every year only small quantities are produced in the egrot copper pot stills at the Combier distillery that is already famous for their high quality absinthe.
The name Meridor is a homage to Diane de Meridor who lived in the Montsoreau castle in the Loire Valley. Her romance with Louis de Clermont was part of the novel “La Dame de Monsoreau” by Alexandre Dumas.
