Buss Gin

In his own cocktail bar in Antwerp, Serge Buss found the inspiration to create his own gins. In 2013, Buss No 509 Raspberry Gin saw the light of day as the first in what has since grown into an entire series called 'The Author Collection'. This is a Belgian gin, born from a bartender's own thirst for something he couldn't find anywhere else.

  • Bottle of Buss No 509 Small Batch Belgian Apple Gin
    Item no.: 2222786539-19907

    From Buss Spirits in Belgium comes a gin where crisp Belgian apples meet juniper, coriander and a brief spell in Calvados barrels that lends a touch of soft wood.

    Expert's description

    Buss No 509 Belgian Apple Gin is a Belgian fruit gin from Buss Spirits, bottled at 40%.

    The gin is built on juniper, coriander seed, liquorice, angelica root, vanilla, cardamom, iris, orange, lemon and fresh Belgian apples.

    The apple flavour is enhanced by a brief ageing in Calvados barrels, which gives the gin soft, woody accents without overpowering the apple's freshness.

    No sugar, artificial colouring or artificial flavour is added, letting the apple and botanicals stand out clearly.

  • Bottle of Buss No 509 Raspberry Gin from Belgium
    Item no.: 2222786539-6033

    The deep, rose-red colour hints at something sweet and fruity, but Buss No 509 Raspberry is far more balanced than its looks promise, with juniper and spice keeping the raspberry in check.

    Expert's description

    Buss No 509 Raspberry is a Belgian gin from Buss Spirits Distillery, bottled at 37.5%.

    The gin is built on botanicals such as juniper, coriander, licorice, angelica, vanilla, cardamom, iris, orange, lemon and raspberry.

    Despite the rose-red colour, which might suggest a predominantly sweet and fruity gin, the raspberry is actually well balanced with juniper and an assortment of herbs, spices and citrus.

    The result is a layered sweetness with a distinct raspberry accent, without the underlying gin character being drowned out.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is fresh, with hints of raspberries.

    Palate

    The palate offers citrus up front, lemon and raspberry notes, with floral and herb-garden tones in the middle, cardamom, angelica and a faint hint of anise, followed by piney juniper and a tart berry, giving a surprisingly dry finish.

    Finish

    The finish is rich and smooth with a hint of warmth.

About Buss No 509 Gin

Buss No 509 is a Belgian gin from Buss Spirits, created by Serge Buss, who ran his own cocktail bar in Antwerp for several years before turning to distillation. The series, called 'The Author Collection', started in 2013 with a Raspberry edition and has since expanded with several variants, all developed with both gin and tonic enthusiasts and professional bartenders in mind. For beginners, Buss No 509 offers an approachable, fruity entry into flavored gin, while connoisseurs appreciate the story of the bartender who built his own brand from years of experience behind the bar.

History & Background

Buss No 509 was created by Belgian Serge Buss, who ran his own cocktail bar in Antwerp for several years before deciding to translate his bar experience into his own gin recipes. The first release, Buss No 509 Raspberry Gin, saw the light of day in 2013 and became the starting shot for what Serge has since called 'The Author Collection'. The series was developed with two audiences in mind: enthusiasts who enjoy a good gin and tonic at home, and professional bartenders seeking characterful ingredients for their cocktails. From a single bar in Antwerp, Buss Spirits has thus grown into a Belgian gin house with a steadily expanding collection of flavored releases.

Production & Style

The gin is distilled from juniper and a composition of Nordic botanicals using classic methods.

Signature Style

Nordic, Fresh, Botanical
The flavor offers a fresh, Nordic character with clear botanical depth.
