Diplome 1945 Dry Gin

Product description

The Original 1945 recipe was perfected during WWII and remains unchanged to this day. Diplôme Dry Gin is a unique French “London Dry Gin.” Created, and distilled in Dijon, a city known and respected world-wide for its cuisine, the recipe for Diplôme is one of the oldest in France. After the end of the war, Diplôme Dry Gin became the official gin for the American Army stationed throughout Europe. Using natural botanicals sourced from Europe and Morocco, Diplôme Dry Gin is made from a selection of the finest available juniper berries, coriander, whole lemons, orange peel, angelica, saffron, iris root, and fennel seed. The nose of Diplôme Dry Gin is a marvelous bouquet of blossoming cherry trees, cloves and the delicate expression of juniper and coriander seeds. Each sip reveals an even greater complex and perfumed taste layered with zesty grapefruit, delicate nutty oils and a delightful infusion of lavender. Its velvety structure is enlivened with rich exotic spices, and dark chocolate leading the way to a great earthy and lengthy finish.
