Citadelle gin is one of the most iconic premium gins on the market, obtained through a meticulous process of quadruple distillation: three distillations of grain and one that includes additional components, all done in a copper pot still. Its recipe dates back to the 18th century but was recreated in 1989 by Alexandre Gabriel in collaboration with Cognac Ferrand in France. This gin has received international recognition, highlighted by its win at the Gin Master in London in 2010 and a gold medal at the International Spirit Challenge in 2008. Its production uses various botanicals, including juniper, lemon peel, orange, licorice, cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg, angelica, pine, anise, violet, almonds, coriander, cardamom, pepper, savory, fennel, and iris root. The final product offers a crisp and smooth profile with a freshness felt on the palate. It is distinguished by a good balance between alcohol and botanicals, with notes of lemon and spices that add a slight spiciness at the end. Citadelle gin is famous for being the perfect choice for preparing the classic gin and tonic cocktail.
