A very well-done sipping gin, smooth and delicious. Perhaps, a little hard to identify so many botanicals but, the aging gives it a pleasant complexity and depth of flavor.
About this bottle
In what first began as an 'family' experiment in 2008, Alexandre Gabriel first released a barrel-aged gin. This updated version, released in the US in late spring 2018, barrel-ages a gin made with 22 botanicals (yuzu, genepi, bleuet are added to the standard Citadelle Gin recipe). Five different types of wood--acacia, mulberry, cherry, chestnut, and French oak--are used to mature the gin for five months. Afterwards, the aged gins are placed into a patented eight-foot tall egg-shaped oak receptacle to marry before bottling at 45.2% ABV.
