Details

Description:
The recipe for Citadelle Gin was developed by a distillery in Dunkirk in 1771. Dunkirk was one of the first ports of call in Europe for many explorers sailing back from the Orient, whose ships were laden with exotic herbs and spices.

Citadelle Gin is made according to principles laid down in the original recipe. Although the production techniques have improved over the centuries, we still use the same 19 botanicals listed in the original recipe.

Citadelle Gin is the only gin in the world made with 19 different botanicals, giving the gin a unique, complex, well-balanced flavour. The secret recipe is known only by the master distiller. In keeping with the traditions of the first European trading captains of the 17th century, only the finest spices are used. This unrivalled variety of spices comes from many distant and diverse places: Juniper, France; Coriander, Morocco; Orange peel, Mexico; Cardamom, India; Liquorice, China; Cubeb pepper, Java; Savory, France; Fennel, Mediterranean; Iris, Italy; Cinnamon, Sri Lanka; Violets, France; Almonds, Spain; Cassia, Indochina; Angelica, Germany; Grains of paradise, West Africa; Cumin, Holland; Nutmeg, India, Lemon rind, Spain, Star anise, France.

Citadelle gin is triple-distilled from wheat and spring water. Before being steeped in neutral alcohol, the botanicals are carefully selected and then placed in a specific bag. This infusion is then distilled to capture each separate aroma, so that the intermingled, complex flavours can develop independently.

Producer Information

Cognac Ferrand was founded by Jean-Dominique Andreu and Alexandre Gabriel in 1989 to produce and market high quality spirits.
They set up their business independently of the major multinational corporations, with the uncompromising principle of guaranteeing top quality.
Their aim was to give new life to Cognacs with individual character that expressed all the uniqueness and style of their terroir.
Capitalising on their expertise, they expanded their business to include other products, never losing sight of their main focus: offering distinctive, high-quality spirits.
From the beginning, Cognac Ferrand set up an exclusive partnership with Domaine du Logis d'Angeac, located in the heart of Grande Champagne, 1er Cru du cognac.
This is where Cognac Pierre Ferrand is made, using ten 25 hectolitre Cognac stills, and applying traditional methods to achieve outstanding quality.
The estate's production has grown as the vineyards have been extended from 40 in 1999 to 75 hectares today. It is continuing to develop, in Angeac, in the heart of Grande Champagne.
Cognac Ferrand products are distributed in over 40 countries, thanks to an active, enthusiastic sales team. Their professionalism, dynamism and capacity to innovate contribute to promoting and handling continued growth, based on a consistent policy with an emphasis on individuality and excellence.
