Chapoutier Sothis Gin
Sothis gin is crafted by Maxime Chapoutier, whose family is legendary in the Rhône Valley. Unlike standard grain-neutral spirits, Sothis is distilled in the heart of Tain-l’Hermitage from organic grapes, giving the gin a silkier, more textured mouthfeel that wine lovers tend to appreciate. The botanicals used aren't just random additions; they are inspired by the wild flora that grows in and around the Chapoutier family’s biodynamic vineyards and include cade (red juniper), chamomile, yarrow, everlasting, wild thyme, and verbena - all chosen to reflect the "alchemy of the terroir." Sothis Gin is not a "juniper bomb." It starts with a spicy nose that moves into exotic notes of mango and chamomile, finishing with the herbal tension of lemon thyme and verbena.
