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.
