Alchimie

 
THE SECRET OF ALCHIMIE GIN

After pouring his hot chocolate into a whisky barrel and exploring the principle of flavor absorption in wood, Nicolas Cloiseau takes a new approach for the second edition of his Alchemy series. His Gin Chocolate bar captures the aromatic essence of the 19 botanicals* that infuse the gin before distillation, delivering a chocolate with an intense gin flavor, but without the alcohol**.

Here, no barrels, no absorption, no refining, but the reuse of "botanicals" that open up a new field of exploration in chocolate. Delivered fresh, reduced to a paste, and incorporated directly into the chocolate coating, Nicolas Cloiseau had the intuition of something new to transcribe the aromatic profile of this spirit.

It was at Citadelle , the quintessential French gin, that our chef unearthed this aromatic treasure made with 100% natural ingredients. Committed to tradition, creativity, and respect for fine products, Citadelle Gin knows, more than anyone, how to open its doors to new ideas. Together, they have created a new way of capturing the character of each berry, each spice, each citrus fruit, and imbue chocolate with a delicious gin flavor.
