Citadelle Distilled Gin Review: Floral and Citrus Notes

For the latest 'Great Finds' column, the spotlight lands on an exceptional bottle sourced locally from Poitou-Charentes. Citadelle Gin delivers a crisp profile of herbal juniper, lively citrus and delicate floral notes that feels genuinely refreshing in a late-afternoon glass. Distilled right here in France, this 70cl spirit brings robust character to standard cocktails, though I've found its punchy 44% alcohol volume easily overpowers subtle mixers if poured too generously. It simply shines when paired with a quality Indian tonic and fresh lemon peel, offering a proper, botanical-forward drink.
