Normindia Gin (700ml)

At the early part of the 20th century, after spending months discovering new flavors while travelling around India, Pierre, the third generation of Domaine du Coquerel family, returned to business school but couldn’t forget the unqiue flavours and experiences he had while travelling.  After years of working in France and in the United States where he explored hundreds of different spirits he fell in love with the versatile canvas that is gin.

He later joined the family distillery producing Calvados, Pommeau and Cidre but he was still thinking about the exotic flavours of his travels and his desire to produce a gin. In 1937 the family began developing their own signature gin and found inspiration in an old family book dated from 1765 called “La Chymie du Goût et de l’Odorat” containing a recipe for a juniper distillate which was loved by Louis XV – King of France. By fusing the experiences from his travels with his family’s rich history in distilling, Pierre had created a truly one of a kind gin: Normindia.
