Taking Citadelle Reserve Gin, the distillers took this unusual spirit to Cognac Ferrand’s Cellar Master, who aged the gin in small quantities in Château de Bonbonnet’s cellars in a Solera system, a maturation method usually seen in Sherry production (though has been becoming rather popular in the rum world too). Very impressive stuff – we recommend serving it over ice to get the full flavor profile which the maturation has imparted.

Nearly every gin sold on the market today is bottled immediately after distilling, but Citadelle Réserve Vintage sleeps for several months in small, seasoned French oak barrels before being bottled.

While this is very unusual today, this painstaking and lengthy practice is reminiscent of how gin was stored and transported more than 100 years ago when glass, plastic,  and stainless steel were not options.

Gabriel’s experimentation began in 2008 when he put his Citadelle Gin into a few old French oak casks – and voilà, Citadelle Gin Réserve was born and became the first barrel-aged Citadelle gin.

Citadelle Reserve Gin is a very rounded gin with notes of wood and vanilla while still being very juniper-forward. It was such a new and unique gin that it sold out within weeks of its global introduction! Upon tasting Citadelle Réserve 2008, the Spanish press called Gabriel the ‘master of spirits.

Nose:

Cardamom and aniseed on the nose, juniper, and vanilla, bittersweet oak.

Palate:

Medium-bodied with complex notes of spice, cedar, and fresh herbs, Quite floral too, with notes of lavender soap and rosemary.

Finish:

Long and crisp with more of those bruised herbal notes.
