Citadelle Gin is produced in Cognac in France using a recipe dating back to around 1771. This current version has been in production since 1989 and is a quadruple distilled London Gin. It won a gold award at the IWSC in 2012.

The first three distillations take place in a column still where the base wheat spirit is created. The fourth and final distillation, with the 19 botanicals that make up the Citadelle signature flavour, takes place in a 200 litre copper pot over naked flame.

The botanicals used to make Citadelle are juniper, violet root, coriander, almond, lemon rind, orange peel, angelica, cardamom, cassia bark, cinnamon, liquorice, grains of paradise, cubeb, cumin, savory, star anise, nutmeg, fennel and orris root.
