DeNux is thrilled to bring Citadelle Gin back to Arkansas! A complex yet subtle London dry gin from southwest France, it's perfect for springtime in the Natural State.
Citadelle holds the distinction of "most awarded gin": it's the winner of 69 medals, 32 of which are gold!
From the standpoint of the legislation, Citadelle is a London gin. However, the method used to produce Citadelle gin is more complex. Its production boasts the following distinctions:
- the use of a Charentais pot stills with a maximum capacity of 25 hectolitres
- naked flame distillation (no steam)
- 18 botanicals in addition to juniper berries
- pure gin - no sugar added!
As it was produced in the 17th century, Citadelle gin is distilled in small copper pot stills with a naked flame. Using centuries-old know-how passed down through five generations of master distillers, Alexandre Gabriel and the Pierre Ferrand cellar master have brought back to market a complex, refined, and elegant gin.
Tasting Notes:
