About Distillerie D'Occitanie
|
|
Distillerie D'Occitanie is the only distillery in the Hautes-Pyrénées region of France. The distillery was launched in 2020 by the Dixon family following their creation of the English-style brewery - Brasserie du Pays Toy - in 2017. The team now consists of husband and wife, Paul and Nina Dixon, and their friend Loic Laselle who had previous worked in the brewery. Their gins are cut with Pyrénées mountain water and are distilled in a 500L copper pot sill, both macerating the botanicals and using a vapour basket. |
Lost Mountain Gin

The Gin Guide Review: Lost Mountain Gin is a classic, crisp and clean gin with almost herbal juniper and citrus notes that transport your mind to the fresh, pine-filled mountain air of the Pyrenees. Meanwhile, earthiness and soft liquorice, cinnamon and coriander seed spice provide depth, a well-balanced backdrop, a and journey of flavour into the finish. With Tonic Water, the juniper develops an almost resinous character alongside deeper lemon peel notes, while cinnamon arrives earlier on the palate for a charming G&T fitting of all seasons. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers
|
There wasn’t a good quality, locally produced gin available. We also realised that a distillery of any kind failed to exist in the Hautes-Pyrenees and to be the first to open one would be a real bonus to us. I felt inspired to make a good quality gin for the people here to enjoy. I wanted to produce something of quality and substance, to let the people here see that there is a lot more to gin than the poor perception they had of it. - Founder, Paul Dixon
