Description
The nose has a rich and earthy tone, that vaguely reminds me of Audemus Spirits’ Umami Spirit. Forest floor, damp earth. On top of that are heady notes of honeysuckle and cinnamon biscuit. It’s a complex mix of dark and light.
Radoune Gin has a heady dose of pine and juniper character as well. The umami note reminds me a bit of distilled junipers other than juniperus communis. It has a cedar and pinecone note.
Early on the palate it strikes me as having some briny, herbal character— kelp, thyme oil and marjoram; it evolves building with pine and cedar; growing gradually sweeter. On the back of the palate notes of carmelized sugar and eggy custard.
The finish is fairly long with a mentholic echo overlaying an earthy, seaweed kissed, savory undertone with a hint of baked blueberry.
Knowing what’s in Radoune Gin, you may immediately reach for those earthy notes and a mushroom metaphor. While I think they are there, the dark herbal notes and juniper touches round out Radoune Gin, into more than just a simple “mushroom gin.”
Radoune Gin is a curious mixer. I thought the earthiness was a little off in terms of a tonic water gin and tonic. The bitter quinine note was welcome, but I found it to work best alongside a flavored tonic syrup.
Jack Rudy’s Elderflower adds an impressively light elderflower top note, which is unusual, yet invigorating. I think my favorite might have been the balance of Radoune Gin and the earthy, floral Hibiscus tonic from Strong. Highly recommended in a Tonic Syrup Gin and Tonic.
Another drink that I think added a lot of balance to Radoune Gin was the Martini. The lovely accompaniment of bitter wormwood and dark herbs created a really captivating, complex drink that evoked feelings of an autumn garden in the rain, weeks away from harvest.
Bartenders looking to mix with Radoune Gin behind the bar are probably going to want to choose carefully how to best highlight it. It’s not necessarily a plug and play substitute for major gin brands; however, with care, especially given to its unusual and well executed flavor profile, I think it can be a quite excellent addition to any bar.
Overall
Radoune Gin is rich, unctuous and a celebration of the earth. Cocktail drinkers looking for something unusual and well executed— especially fans of Martinis— will find a lot to like about Radoune Gin. It truly is a celebration of terroir, and Radoune Gin differentiates itself from any other gin on the market in that regard. Nothing quite tastes like this gin, and I mean that in the best way.

THROUGH OUR TECHNIQUES OF ELABORATION AND AGING, WE WISH TO HIGHLIGHT THE RICHNESS OF THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE GASPÉSIE, WHILE SHARING WITH YOU OUR PASSION FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY.

LE ST-PIERRE IN 1920, THE PROHIBITION TURNED ON THE ISLAND OF SAINT-PIERRE-ET-MIQUELON OFF THE COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND INTO A BOTTLEGGERS HEAVEN. ALCOHOL WAS TRANSPORTED IN THE GASPÉ PENINSULA, THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL WATERS, TO SMALL FISHING BOATS TO BE HIDDEN ON THE BANKS AND RIVERS AND THEN TO BE SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET. THIS SPIRIT WAS KNOW TO ALL GASPESIANS AS BEING WHITE WHISKY, LITTLE WHITE, OR SIMPLY ST. PIERRE PUDDING STONE PUDDING STONE IS THE NAME OF THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN LOCATED NEAR GASPÉ.

AT THE HEIGHT 460 METERS, THE MOUNTAIN OFFERS A UNIQUE VIEW OF GASPÉ BAY, FORILLON NATIONAL PARK, PERCÉ AND BONAVENTURE ISLAND. THAT IS WHY IT WAS COMMON TO MOOSE POACHERS WITH BINOCULARS AT NIGHT.

PUDDING STONE HAS A COMPLEX CHOCOLATE AROMA WITH EXOTIC MAPLE NOTES AND THE SWEET AROMA OF COFFEE.
