Description
Citadelle Jardin d'été Gin
With their newest Gin, Citadelle have taken inspiration from a summer garden. It contains no less than 22 different perfectly blended botanicals, including lesser-known botanicals such as Szechuan pepper and savory.
The Citadelle Jardin d'Été (Summer Garden) has a intensely fresh nose with scents of citrus fruit (coming from yuzu, orange peel and candied lemon) and juniper berries being instantly recognizable. Behind these are more floral scents (violey), and a delicate spicy touch from fennel and a little licorice.
On the palate, the freshness found in the aroma continues and the floral flavour can still be found. These floral notes are accompanied by a deliciously light spiciness and a fruity character from melon and mandarin. The spiciness becomes more noticeable towards the end and warming nutmeg and angelica greet you.
The total 22 botanicals used in the blending of this delicious new gin are: Juniper, whole lemons, and lemon zest, melon, orange zest, yuzu zest, iris root, almond, fennel, star anise, cardamom, violet, nutmeg, coriander, cubeb pepper, cassia, licorice, savory, sichuan pepper, angelica, cumin and cinnamon.

Perfect Serve
We find this works perfect with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water. In a large glass filled with ice pour 50ml of the gin, and gently add 150ml of tonic. Stir gently and garnish with a slice of lemon.
