Citadelle Gin 44% Magnum 175 cl.

Citadelle Gin is something as unusual as a gin from the Cognac region. The cognac regulations state that distillation is not allowed between April and October. The head of Maison Ferrand, Alexandre Gabriel, wanted to take advantage of this downtime to produce gin, but the committee was very against it. It was not until several years later, in 1996, that they relented and the gin Citadelle was born, named after a fortress near Dunkirk where genever was produced in the old days.

Today it is an almost iconic gin, which with its art deco-inspired blue bottle adorns the shelf of any self-respecting cocktail bar.

Color: Clear.
Fragrance: Super fresh and elegant scent of juniper, lemon and summer flowers.
Tasting notes: Crisp and harmonious with juniper at the forefront and subtle notes of orange peel, coriander seeds and cardamom.

Serving suggestions: An ideal gin for G&Ts. Maison Ferrand suggests 1 part Citadelle to 3 parts tonic and a garnish of fresh lemon peel, preferably accompanied by oysters from Charente!
