Lord Hervé Since 1963 - Lord Hervé Lopez is the founder of the Gin Lord of Barbès. Alternately art director, director, owner of a movie theater and animated film producer for Hermès, Hervé ennobles himself in 2010 when he arrives in Barbès and decides to make his own gin, a gin in the colors of Africa.
Introduction by the Lord - Being a Lord is a way of life, a philosophy, which consists of seeking the exceptional, assuming its difference, not for the sake of standing out but for pure hedonistic pleasure. The Lord of Barbès gin is for such aesthetes as these. Every day. Cheers!
Lord of Barbès gin Gin for Lords - An organic gin, crafted and astonishingly fragranced in a striking cobalt blue, mass-coloured glass bottle. To drink neat or as a cocktail for Lords & Ladies.
Barbès Tonic is an organic sugar syrup made from quinine bark, Sicilian lemon, Peru ginger, bark of bitter orange, vanilla and monkey bread. Mix in the Lord of Barbès gin and soda water to make it the best Gin & Tonic of the world.
THE ART OF DISTILLATION In the Bercloux distillery - Lord Philippe, our cellar master, makes his eaux-de-vie in a Stupfler copper still (the Rolls Royce of stills). Heated with an open flame, the still requires very delicate handling, but also makes it possible to improve the precision of the heaters and the preservation of the aromas, all in a single distillation. Rich, refined, surprisingly soft and sweet, despite being 50% vol, the Lord of Barbès gin retains the completeness and aromatic diversity of the raw materials that make it.
AN APHRODISIAC GIN To Monkey Bread - The baobab produces a tangy fruit which is pleasing in taste to men and monkeys alike, hence its name of "monkey bread". Cleverly distilled with wheat alcohol, juniper berries and aphrodisiac plants, it brings a touch of acidity and bitterness and gives our gin its incredibly special taste.
TASTING NOTES Cheers !
- Nose: the nose is first entertained with strong floral notes, in particular lavender, acacia and honey-suckle, followed by spices such as cardamom, juniper berries and nutmeg. Notes of mango and almond milk gives a glimpse of the indulgence that awaits.
- Mouth: first to arrive are the juniper berries, followed closely by the ginger. The freshness of these aromas compliments the greasy and rich texture of the gin, and the Baobab fruit flavours balance out the bitterness and acidity in the mid-palate. White flowers interspersed with coriander seeds and pepper bring the consumer’s experience to a close. To be tasted preferably in a Lord of Barbès chalice.
THE REFILL User Guide - The Lord of Barbès refillable bottle is your trusty companion as a Lord. Once empty, you can refill it at locations throughout France, Belgium and Switzerland at our Refill Stations in wine shops for low prices. Barbès Tonic Invigorating - In the 18th century, English settlers in India used to take quinine for malaria. Particularly bitter in taste, quinine was better accompanied by a little sugar and gin.
The Gin & Tonic was born. The Barbès Tonic is inspired by the original recipe. Simply add gin and sparkling water, and it's ready.
