Franc-Tireur, Distillery of Normandy As its name suggests, the Franc-Tireur distillery is an independent fighter. She fights against the standardization of the tastes of industrial spirits by working hand in hand with the best craftsmen dinandier, cooper or herbalist of France, from Normandy to Provence. It is the sum of their know-how and our passion that gives our artisanal spirits their exceptional taste. Franc-Tireur's vision is simple: we create spirits with a unique personality thanks to our high-quality local raw materials distilled according to ancestral methods. THE MAVERICK MANIFESTO We are uncompromising on: The origin and quality of the raw materials: we use absolutely pure water as well as the finest botanical plants sourced locally whenever possible, not to mention environmentally friendly manufacturing. Respect for traditional methods: the magic of distillation takes place in our column still made in France, in the rules of the art. At Franc-Tireur, everything is done patiently by hand, from distillation to bottle waxing. The pleasure of the senses: thanks to the combination of the two previous points, Franc-Tireur promises you unique and amazing spirits with finely studied recipes to offer you beautiful moments of tasting, alone or in cocktails. JULIEN SEVESTRE, PASSIONATE MAVERICK The fighter behind Franc-Tireur is Julien Sevestre. Originally from Rouen and long-time lover of good products, her childhood is rocked by the picking of wild thyme and the making of the garden's coy jellies, the gourmet snacks prepared by Maman and visits to the winegrowers with Papa. But it is first of all the path of technical and commercial studies in sustainable development that he takes. A few years ago, while he was going around in circles and needed change in his career, Julien fell in love with the distillation process during a trip to Martinique with his half, Elodie. At the first visit of rhum distillery, love at first sight is at the rendezvous: from the sourcing of raw materials to the sale through all the stages of manufacture, it is definitely bitten. They will visit all the other distilleries on the island, before returning to Normandy, a nice project in the process of forming. Long months of research and experimentation later, Julien sees the birth of his first gin, which already seduces amateurs and (old) refractories. Rums and whiskies will soon follow. The tasty fight of Franc-Tireur begins! See less
