Product description
Gin Buss Nº 509 is the creation of Serge Buss, founder and owner of Bar Bounce, the first “Gin & Tonic” bar in Belgium.
Serge comes from a family with rich culinary traditions, his grandfather was a chef to the Belgian royal family, and his father owned a popular restaurant chain; he himself opened his first restaurant when he was just 20. The Buss Nº 509 brand debuted in 2013 with the Raspberry Gin version, the first in the "Author Collection" series, which was soon joined by the following gins: Pink Grapefruit, Belgian Apple, Elderflower and Persian Peach. In the formula of the Pink Grapefruit edition presented here, in addition to the basic botanical ingredients (juniper berries, coriander, vanilla, licorice, angelica and orris roots, cardamom, oranges and lemons), there are Californian pink grapefruits. The details of the production of Buss Nº 509 gins remain the secret of the creator, we only know that he uses only natural ingredients without adding any coloring, flavoring or preservatives. In 2018, Buss Nº 509 Pink Grapefruit Gin won a silver medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Buss Nº 509 Pink Grapefruit Gin offers rich citrus notes (especially pink grapefruit) and vanilla, juniper and licorice. The producer recommends serving it with a classic Indian Tonic with a slice of pink grapefruit and a sprig of red currants.
