Rosa Paredes VIPsAllowed — Spice Complexity
8/10

With anise, cumin, and gentle juniper on the palate, Citadelle offers a spice-led gin of real complexity. The citrus peel provides essential brightness and at 44% ABV the medium warm finish is satisfying.

Jason Steel VIPsAllowed — Perfect After-Dinner Gin
8/10

The warm spicy character makes Citadelle ideal after dinner. The soft round palate with Cognac-like warmth, the exotic spice, and the clean dry conclusion at 44% — it's a gin for slow, contemplative sipping.

Yuki Nakamura VIPsAllowed — Anise and Cumin Depth
8/10

The anise and cumin on the palate add a fascinating exotic quality. The bright lemon-orange citrus provides freshness, the juniper is supportive, and at 44% the warm finish with lingering star anise is lovely.
