GinBey Gin | 700ML

A rather excellent gin here all the way from Lebanon, created by Faouzi Issa from the Domaine des Tourelles winery. It's made with a delicious selection of 14 botanicals, including a base of juniper and coriander, plus a whole host of ingredients sourced from Lebanon. Rose petals, pomegranate seeds, citruses, spices, and more all feature in this expression, distilled in a 400-litre copper still, with some specially selected ones up in a basket to allow for a delicate flavour extraction. After distillation, the spirit is rested in amphora jars for six months, helping to round out the gin's flavour profile and mouth feel.

Distillery Information

Domaine des Tourelles was founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun and is one of the most highly acclaimed and oldest wineries still operating in Lebanon. It was also the first commercial cellar in 'modern' Lebanon to produce wines, arak and other spirits. This place has history! The Brun family owned and ran the winery up until the last descendant died in 2003 but luckily two local families - the Issa and Issa el-Khoury families - joined forces to buy the property and continue the fine tradition of winemaking.Today, this Bekaa Valley estate is run by the three Issa children - twins Faouzi and Johanne and their sister Christiane, alongside Emile Issa-el Khoury, son of one of the co-owners. This young and dynamic combination have introduced a handful of practices in the vineyards and cellar including the use of indigenous natural yeasts, no fining or filtering, and only very small amounts of sulphur. These techniques along with fruit from 40 hectares of ancient, organically cultivated and dry-farmed vineyards (among the oldest in the valley) and a winery perfect for hands-off winemaking, make Domaine des Tourelles one of the finest boutique wineries in the Middle East.
