Acme Gin

ACME Gin, which comes from the ancient Greek “akmê”, means summit. ACME is also the highest point reached by an art or a civilization in its development. This new gin inspired by our mountains promises to be a great discovery!

ACMÉ highlights the diversity of aromatic plants and the natural wealth of our French mountains. Super premium, this new gin “made in France” is distinguished above all by its unique personality: a profile of great freshness and a rare intensity.

ACME, BETWEEN ORIGINALITY AND TRADITION

ACMÉ owes its unique style above all to its original recipe, which honors fir buds selected for their quality and taste and which have the particularity of being hand-picked in the French mountains, which brings true originality to the development of this new premium French gin.

Combined with 11 carefully selected aromatic plants, these wild buds are ACMÉ’s aromatic signature, both complex and delicate, intense and fresh.

In addition to the choice of aromatic plants that make up its highly original recipe, ACMÉ is distinguished by its production method and its French and local production. Passed on from generation to generation, the traditional know-how in its distillation process is at the origin of the great complexity of ACMÉ.

This new French gin is distilled in a traditional copper still in Thuir, in the heart of the Eastern Pyrenees.

This traditional distillation, in a site steeped in 200 years of history, allows the aromatic complexity of the 12 plants that make up ACMÉ to be sublimated.

Before this distillation step, the 12 aromatic plants that are juniper berries, coriander seeds, wormwood, gentian roots, lemon thyme, iris roots, licorice, green anise, angelica and sweet orange peels, pine buds and fir buds, ACME’s signature aromatic plant, are infused for about 15 hours in order to reveal the quintessence of their aromas.

Proud of its French origins and its proximity to the surrounding mountains, ACMÉ is shaking up the codes and conventions of the gin world, while respecting tradition and local heritage.
