Product Information

Citadelle Gin is triple-distilled in the Cognac region of France by producer Pierre Ferrand using wheat and spring water. Before being steeped in neutral alcohol, the master distiller selects the 19 botanicals that will complement the freshness of the juniper with tart, floral and exotic flavours. A work of fine balance, it allows the flavours and aromas to intermingle in a perfect harmony. Once the steeping is complete, the infusion is then distilled in small Charentais pot stills with an open flame. The slow distillation allows the distiller to precisely select the heart of the gin, whilst the relatively low swan's neck favours the concentration of essential oils; all of which contributing to the gin's aromatic quality.

For the Old Tom gin Alexandre Gabriel uses a marvellous, moist and heavy brown sugar from the Caribbean, similar to Demerara. This sugar is toasted in copper cauldrons for a first stage of caramelization, then lightly thinned and finally alcoholised. The gin is then aged for three to four months in casks. To create his Old Tom, the expertise of the Master Blender consists of supplementing Citadelle Reserve selected for its floral aspect with aged sugar, then putting it all back into casks for several months, in order to obtain a perfect blend of all the elements, an ideal integration at 46% alcohol.
