London Dry 41.5% ABV

Delightfully Aromatic
The nose alone is worth the price — so many layers of floral and herbaceous character. On the palate it's light, fresh, and incredibly drinkable. At 41.5% it's perfectly balanced for long summer evenings.

Quintessentially French
Everything about this gin screams French elegance. The floral character is refined rather than heavy, the herbal notes are delicate, and the London Dry base provides structure. A sophisticated summer pour.

Pretty But Slight
The garden concept is lovely and it certainly looks beautiful, but at 41.5% the flavours feel a bit ephemeral. The florals are pleasant but lack the intensity I look for. More of a warm-weather curiosity than a year-round gin.

Summer in a Glass
Citadelle Jardin d'Ete is sheer perfection for warm weather drinking. The French garden botanicals are exquisitely balanced — floral, herbal, fresh, and utterly enchanting. At 41.5% it's impossibly drinkable. My favourite seasonal gin release.

Elegant Floral Expression
Citadelle have taken their excellent base gin and added a stunning floral dimension. The garden botanicals are vivid and natural, the juniper stays present, and the 41.5% ABV is perfectly judged for the style.

A French Summer Garden
Jardin d'Ete is aptly named — it genuinely tastes like a walk through a French garden in summer. Floral and herbaceous with a gentle juniper backbone. Beautifully light at 41.5% but never thin.
