Citadelle Gin De France - Extrême No. 1 No Mistake Old Tom Gin

Gin description

The very first in the Citadelle Extrême range, N°1 No Mistake was so successful that this once-limited edition is now part of our permanent offer under the name Old Tom. Citadelle Old Tom is inspired by our research into the popular gin traditions of 18th and 19th century England. Concocted from a gin aged in various woods, we have added toasted Caribbean cane sugar, also barrel-aged, for an incredibly gourmet sweetness. This tribute by Alexandre Gabriel to Charles Dickens, who spun tales about England’s mania for gin and its various nicknames, offers an ideal melding of flavors. « No Mistake, » Dickens might have said, if he had the chance to taste our Old Tom. Full and elegant, with a bitter-sweet profile of preserved lemon peel, anise and almond, the palate evolves with spicy notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and cubeb pepper. Its long finish reveals floral, spicy and woody accords, with notes of violet, angelica and licorice.
