Buss N°509 Midi Cut Gin: Bold Mediterranean Elegance with Herbaceous Charm and Belgian Craftsmanship
Buss N°509 Midi Cut Gin is a Belgian artisanal gin with a cheeky and jaunty profile, part of the Choice Cut Collection by Buss Spirits. With clear Mediterranean and imaginative inspiration, this gin stands out for its use of fresh botanicals that evoke the sunny climate and flavors of the Mediterranean scrub. Distilled at 45%, it is a balanced gin that combines herbs, spices, and citrus in a symphony of simple, direct aromas and flavors, but certainly not without an atavistic charm. It is not original, it is not revolutionary, but what it offers is punctuated with crystalline elegance, without boasting too many frills.

Organoleptic Characteristics
On the nose, you can detect strongly herbaceous and spicy notes, with predominant tones of laurel, rosemary, and thyme, enriched by a hint of fresh citrus fruits like orange and lemon. On the palate, the gin presents languidly, with a marked combo of spices and Mediterranean herbs, while juniper and cardamom give structure and depth to the sip. The finish is penetrating and titillating, with a touch of vanilla and licorice softening the intense character of this libation.
How to Enjoy It
Buss N°509 Midi Cut is extraordinary for fruity cocktails such as Singapore Sling and Paradise, perfect in a Gin & Tonic, especially if served with a light tonic like Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic and garnished with a sprig of thyme or an orange peel to enhance the herbaceous and citrus notes. It is also a solid base for classic and bitter cocktails like the Negroni, where its complexity integrates well with vermouth and bitters.
