Citadelle

In the heart of Grande Champagne, Cognac, noble pot stills make some of the world’s finest Cognac - Pierre Ferrand Premier Cru. But there was a problem – those copper pot stills were left quiet six months of every year due to the strict AOC laws that allow the distillation of Cognac to occur only between October through to March.

Cognac Ferrand owner, Alexandre Gabriel, a keen gin fan himself, decided to do something about it and set about convincing the BNIC to allow him to use the stills to distil gin. Now, Citadelle is the only gin to be distilled in a gas fired Cognac copper pot still, which produces a rich spirit with enough complexity and character to hold the nineteen botanicals. Each botanical adds a little extra dimension and creates a gin with a unique style.
