Citadelle Gin 70cl

Description

Arriving in a striking bottle that promises to improve the aesthetic of any liquor shelf or bar cart, Citadelle gin is light, delicate, and remarkably easygoing. Its aromas are perfumed with a spray of citrus oil and a waft of lemon thyme, while the palate lands a subtle piney finish. Whilst Citadelle offers complete aromatic richness, its three character traits remain. Juniper, its signature, the key base of Citadelle; Citrus, the complementary note that underlines the juniper and other exotic flavours, offering an additional level of enjoyment with touches of pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. Think of this as a (lightly) flavoured vodka with elegance, and by all means take that as a compliment. Beautifully balanced, it is elegant, soft and and long in the mouth, with an alcohol content of 44%. A perfect equilibrium between intensity and finesse. The 19 aromatics that make up Citadelle are infused, according to their profile, between one and four days – a crucial time so that Citadelle can acquire its distinguished profile. It is then distilled in small copper stills over open flames in order to develop its suppleness and voluptuous character in the mouth.

Citadelle has won more than 60 medals, among them “Spirit of the Year” at the 2017 World Spirit Awards as well as “World’s Best Gin” and “Gin Grand Master” in London. Its bottle hasn’t escaped attention either; it was awarded a Gold medal at the Spirits Design Master 2017.
