Phil, who hails from England and grew up in the British gin culture, combines his knowledge and passion for distillation to concoct some amazing recipes.
Come and visit them to discover their artisanal products, enrich your knowledge with their gin creation workshops or simply toast with them during a tasting in this magical place.
Both originally electrical engineers, they have long been fascinated by the building in which they created the distillery, a former EDF electricity transformer nicknamed the 'Electric Fairy'. It was very important to them to renovate this industrial wasteland, the historical heritage that enabled Saint-Martin-de-Bavel to be one of the first towns in the region to be electrified at the beginning of the 20th century.
In a few words, their distillery is: :
- A responsible, traditional distillery :
- Using a traditional still and distilling in small batches to ensure continuous improvement of the products and to adapt quickly to feedback from customers, friends and family!
- Implementation of an environmental charter with examples of concrete actions.
- Good products: their mantra is "taste above all". How do we achieve this? By selecting a combination of simple but daring spices and plants to enhance the flavour of the selected products.
- Local, quality ingredients:
- As a priority, use local products, if not suppliers selected for their values, the quality of their products and their commitment to a sustainable approach.
- Long-term objective: grow the essentials themselves or gather them from the wild
- Good humour, conviviality and fun
- Fun and passion are at the heart of all their distillations
