Citadelle's Réserve Gin endures a rater intriguing maturation. Firstly, it's aged for five months in casks made from acacia, cherry, chestnut, French oak and mulberry. The gin is then combined and refined in an eight foot tall, egg-shaped oak cask! It's now bottled at 45.2% ABV (slightly higher than previous bottlings).
Cardamom and aniseed on the nose, juniper and vanilla, bittersweet oak.
Medium-bodied with complex notes of spice, cedar and fresh herbs, Quite floral too, with notes of lavender soap and rosemary.
Long and crisp with more of those bruised herbal notes.
