Citadelle Gin 88 Proof France 750ml

Citadelle Gin — Cognac, France — 88 Proof — 750ml

Citadelle is one of France's most celebrated gin houses, distilled in Cognac using a 19th-century copper pot still and a signature blend of 19 botanicals sourced from around the world — juniper, citrus peel, coriander, cardamom, fennel, anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and more. The result is a gin of rare aromatic complexity: three defining character traits — juniper, citrus, and exotic spice — woven together with a voluptuous, long finish that sets it apart from anything else in the category. 96 points from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge and 94 points (Best Buy) from Wine Enthusiast confirm what the glass already tells you.

The nose is elegant and inviting — fresh flowers, green melon, lemon peel, wild herbs, and assertive juniper, softened by cinnamon and anise. On the palate, the gin is smooth, refreshing, and crisp, with complex flavors of green peach, pear, lavender, mint, and citrus that build with every sip. The juniper cedes to a long, voluptuous, spicy finish with touches of pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon that linger beautifully.

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 — "Green melon, lemon peel, and wild herbs are elegantly displayed. The palate is refreshing and crisp, complex flavors of green peach, pear, lavender, and mint create a complex yet ethereal profile." • Wine Enthusiast 94 (Best Buy) — "Brisk, clean, and citrusy enough to induce Martini-with-a-twist cravings. Juniper-forward and drying with every sip."
