The gin is built on Citadelle’s signature botanical blend of nineteen ingredients including juniper, citrus peels, violet and aromatic herbs. After distillation, the spirit rests for three to four months in oak casks, adding depth and a gentle sweetness that defines the Old Tom category. This ageing process creates a rich character that sets it apart from contemporary London Dry styles.

Nose: Citrus peels, violet florals and herbal complexity create an aromatic first impression layered with brown sugar warmth.

Palate: Rich and lush with sweet botanical notes, ripe yellow fruits and subtle exotic spice. The aged quality brings weight and texture that gives this gin real presence in mixed drinks.

Finish: Smooth and rounded with lingering sweetness and gentle oak influence.

This gold medal winner from the Gin Masters 2020 excels in classic serves where its sweetness can shine. Try it in a Tom Collins for a refreshing twist, use it to add depth to an Old Fashioned, or sip it neat over ice to appreciate the full complexity. The bold character holds up beautifully against mixers without disappearing into the background.

Ideal for gin enthusiasts who appreciate historical styles, home bartenders exploring beyond London Dry, and anyone seeking a versatile mixing gin with real personality. A thoughtful gift for collectors drawn to heritage spirits with authentic provenance and award-winning craft credentials.
