Citadelle Gin Rouge (70cl, 41.7%)

A dry gin from Citadelle, extending the classic botanical recipe with cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackcurrants and rhubarb. Despite its name and red fruit, it remains crystal clear in the glass. The base is a distillate from French wheat, made in pot stills at Château de Bonbonnet in the Cognac region, with aromatics created by progressive infusion. No sugar, colouring or other additives are added. The bottle holds 70cl at 41.7%. The nose is intense with red fruit and fine pastry notes. The palate combines red berries and rhubarb into a fresh fruit impression, with sweet and spicy pepper notes in balance. The finish is rounded and recalls red fruit sweets, with a fine spice nuance.
