Citadelle French Gin
London Dry 44% ABV
3 March 2026
Pleasant but Lacking Punch
It's delicate and well-made, but at 44% I expected more impact. The botanicals are gentle to the point of being a bit timid. A London Dry that could benefit from a bolder hand.

Pure French Sophistication
Citadelle is proof that the French can make gin just as brilliantly as the British. At 44% ABV every botanical is perfectly placed. The subtlety and grace of this London Dry is absolutely beguiling.

Good Quality French Gin
Citadelle is a well-priced French London Dry that punches above its weight. The 44% ABV provides decent structure and the botanical blend is harmonious and refined. Solid everyday choice.

Understated and Refined
This is a gin that rewards patience. The 44% ABV carries a gentle complexity of citrus, spice, and floral notes. Very much in the French tradition of elegance over exuberance.

French Elegance in a Bottle
Citadelle brings a distinctly French refinement to the London Dry category. At 44% ABV it's well-structured with delicate floral and spice notes. Subtlety is the watchword here.

Smooth and Versatile
Citadelle at 44% is wonderfully smooth. It works in everything from a simple G&T to a complex cocktail. The French approach to gin-making produces something genuinely different and appealing.

Cognac Country Gin
Distilled in France's Cognac region, Citadelle has a finesse that reflects its origins. At 44% the London Dry style is expressed with real grace. A sophisticated and charming gin.
