A Treat for the Taste Buds: A Tasting of Exceptional Spirits at the Alter Distillery in Geneva on Thursday, November 7, 2024<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

LVX Geneva Dry Gin, LVX Negroni, LVX Old Fashioned \u2026 the spirits <\/span> LVX Spirits<\/span><\/a> hold no secrets for the thirty or so guests attending the <\/span>Plaisirs & D\u00e9couvertes <\/span><\/i>event hosted by ASAGE on Thursday, November 7, on Rue de Bourgogne in Geneva.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quentin Verne<\/span><\/a>, the passionate and inspiring founder of the brand <\/span>LVX Spirits<\/span><\/a>, began by reflecting on his unconventional entrepreneurial journey. <\/span> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was while studying at the University of Manchester that Quentin discovered gin and became convinced of its potential. As the years went by, Quentin secretly distilled in makeshift labs, concocting experimental recipes and experimenting with new techniques. Upon returning to Switzerland, he began his career in finance at Mirabaud Asset Management but quickly felt the urge to make the switch to entrepreneurship. Following some inspiring encounters and training in oenology, Quentin finally took the plunge in 2019 and launched his brand with its flagship product, the <\/span>LVX Geneva Dry Gin<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The alumni then had the opportunity to discover the art of enhancing aromas, which is quite similar to the craft of a perfumer. Welcomed at the Alter Distillery, they were immersed in the secrets of low-temperature distillation in this setting that blends tradition and modernity. It is indeed in this Bar | Lab\u2014which opened in 2024\u2014that all of LVX Spirits\u2019 original recipes are crafted and produced by hand. Discerning connoisseurs can admire the production process while sipping a gin and tonic\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the evening wrapped up with a tasting of gin and other mixed drinks, providing an opportunity for casual conversation in a cheerful atmosphere. Judging by the cheerful smiles in the photos, it\u2019s clear that the participants enjoyed this special experience. <\/span>Fun and Discoveries <\/span><\/i>2024!<\/span><\/p>\n

ASAGE would like to thank <\/span>Quentin Verne<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Jessica-Lou Shepard<\/span><\/a> for their warm welcome and their generosity in sharing. This event could not have taken place without the volunteer organizing team, <\/span>Christine Royer<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Lionel Parthiot<\/span><\/a>. Congratulations to both of them.<\/span><\/p>\n
