Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Citadelle Original by Citadelle is a French dry gin at 44% ABV, defined by its highly structured and balanced profile. Crafted from a selection of 19 botanicals, it reveals a distinct juniper foundation followed by refreshing citrus notes. The palate is crisp, leading to a lingering finish of pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. Its focused flavours excel in a classic Gin and Tonic garnished with lemon, or when paired with fresh oysters and seafood dishes.
Where does it come from?
Produced in south-west France at Château de Bonbonnet, this spirit is deeply rooted in local distillation expertise. Created in 1996 by Alexandre Gabriel, Citadelle Original is recognised as a pioneer of craft gin. The estate setting ensures a consistent house style focused on a dry palate and aromatic clarity. Having earned over a hundred medals, its reputation reflects a finely tuned balance of finesse and intensity that highlights its origins.
How is it produced?
The process relies on a patented progressive infusion technique that manages the maceration of each ingredient. By gradually reducing the alcoholic strength, this method extracts the botanical aromas with absolute precision. This controlled approach integrates the herbs, citrus and spices seamlessly before the final distillation. This precise extraction ensures that the distinct juniper backbone and spiced finish remain vivid, creating a clean aromatic structure.
