Citadelle Gin 44%

Notes - The recipe for Citadelle Gin was developed by a distillery in Dunkirk in 1771. Dunkirk was one of the first ports of call in Europe for many explorers sailing back from the Orient, whose ships were laden with exotic herbs and spices. Citadelle Gin is made according to principles laid down in the original recipe. Citadelle Gin is the only gin in the world made with 19 different botanicals, giving the gin a unique, complex, well-balanced flavour. The secret recipe is known only by the master distiller. In keeping with the traditions of the first European trading captains of the 17th century, only the finest spices are used. This unrivalled variety of spices comes from many distant and diverse places. The botanicals are Juniper, Coriander, Orange peel, Cardamom, Liquorice, Cubeb pepper, Savory, Fennel, Iris, Cinnamon, Violets, Almonds, Cassia, Angélica, Grains of paradise, Cumin, Nutmeg, Lemon rind and Star anise. The purity and subtle flavour of Citadelle gin makes it an ideal base for many cocktails. Citadelle gin offers a subtle bouquet, with aromas of juniper and citrus. It is elegant, soft, and smooth on the palate. It has a long aftertaste which expresses its aromatic complexity to the fullest. At 44° - 88 proof, Citadelle gin is perfectly balanced between intensity and finesse. The purity and subtle flavour of Citadelle gin makes it an ideal base for many cocktails, in particular one of the best Gin & Tonics in the world.
