To each his own way of drinking this beverage that made history\u2026 Because a certain craze has recently made gin the resolutely sophisticated ingredient of cocktails of all kinds. From the mythical Martini to the Cosmopolitan \u2014 spirits have been erected in nectar rich in evocations. Sophistication, elegance and power\u2026 The gin, alone or in cocktail, gives in the mouth subtlety and excellence!<\/p>\n\n
And to each gin distillery its way of working this part of the history of taste. If this spirit comes from a composition born in the spirit of the monks, then in that of the alchemists, this alcohol entered the pantheon of sophistication during the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n\n
Today, Icon-Icon selects the best gins in the world for Father\u2019s Day. An opportunity, if one was really needed, to taste this spirit!<\/p>\n\n
It is the Citadelle distillery that opens this Special Gin. This, with two innovative gins. The first is Citadelle Gin Original \u2014 a delicately floral gin with a remarkably velvety nose. The recipe for the Citadelle Gin is based on one of the first gin produced in France at the Citadelle of Dunkirk.<\/p>\n\n
Their exceptional tastes, the Citadelle gins derive them from their production made in small Charente copper stills heated with bare fire\u2026 An innovation!<\/p>\n\n
