Specialising in the cultivation of aromatic plants, the Forissier estate created Le Lièvre Blanc Gin in 2018. It can be used in cocktails blended with low-alcohol liqueurs. It is made from a fine wine-based spirit blended with a bouquet of spices and a wild variety of verbena that is little known due to its intense bitterness: medicinal verbena. Steam distillation (in a Charente-style copper still) results in a precise and complex gin. Classified as a DRY GIN, it is unsweetened after distillation. Its name, ‘Le Lièvre Blanc’, embodies a gin that is at once smooth, pure and wild, and pays homage to the estate located on Chemin des Lièvres. (source: Les Verveines du Forez)
