Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin 500ml

Discover the Essence of Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin

Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin offers a fascinating homage to the venerable Old Tom style, masterfully reinvented by the reputable Citadelle Gin, part of the prestigious Maison Ferrand. More than a product, this gin is a narrative of tradition meeting the avant-garde—the soul of 19th-century gin revived for the modern sophisticated palate.

Brand Heritage and Innovation

Citadelle Gin, birthed in 1996 by visionary Alexandre Gabriel, set out to articulate the richness of French distilling history. Not only does Citadelle Gin embrace this heritage, but it also exemplifies Maison Ferrand’s ethos of pushing the boundaries through relentless innovation. This commitment can be savored in every sip of the Old Tom Gin.

Crafted with Excellence

Rooted deeply in French soil, the journey of Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin begins with its foundational spirit, Citadelle Réserve Gin. This base spirit undergoes an exquisite aging process in five distinct wood types, which imbues it with a floral note that sets the stage for complex flavors.

The novel sweetening process features toasted Caribbean brown sugar, masterfully prepared by caramelizing in age-old copper cauldrons. This sugar, after being alcoholized, is given time to mature in spirit casks. Adding to the mystique, the already intriguing Réserve Gin is married with this matured sugar and together, they age further, weaving a tapestry of flavors enriched by time.

A Symphony of Tasting Notes

Embrace the rich appearance, with its inviting golden straw hue, a promise of complexity within. The aromatic tapestry greets you with lush tones of golden raisin mingled with vibrant citrus, cardamom, and whispers of jasmine. Each sip offers a sweet-bitter dance on the palate—candied lemon zest, anise, and almond blending harmoniously. The finish stretches out luxuriously with layers of floral, spice, and wood notes: coriander, violet, and a sprinkling of cumin and licorice to complete the narrative.

Cocktail Inspirations

Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin is not just a spirit; it’s an experience waiting to be unlocked in mixology. Delight in a timeless Tom Collins, let the gin’s inherent sweetness elevate a classic Negroni, or pair it with a bespoke tonic for an unparalleled Gin & Tonic experience.
