Citadelle Original 44% 1000ml

Citadelle Original 44% | Dry Gin

Citadelle Original 44% is a pioneer in the craft gin category, blending French elegance with a passion for innovation. Produced in the Cognac region, this gin is made using a unique progressive maceration method, where 19 selected botanicals are infused in neutral wheat spirit for varying durations to capture their purest essence. Distillation takes place in small copper pot stills over an open flame, a technique that grants Citadelle Original 44% its signature body and complexity. It is a spirit that honors a history dating back to 1775 while delivering a modern, fresh flavor profile that is perfect for summer afternoons and sophisticated evening cocktails alike.

The bouquet of this gin is incredibly delicate and floral, dominated by fresh juniper and complemented by citrus brightness and a subtle hint of cardamom. On the palate, you will experience a perfect harmony of flavors—initial notes of lemon zest and coriander transition smoothly into a spicy heart with touches of nutmeg and cubeb pepper. The texture is smooth and rounded, entirely free of harsh bitterness, showcasing master-level distillation. The finish is long, refreshing, and slightly spicy, with a gentle herbal aftertaste. Citadelle Original 44% is designed for the perfect Gin & Tonic, where combined with premium tonic water and a twist of lemon, its aristocratic heritage and artisanal soul truly shine.
