Les Excentriques
Vive Le Cornichon!
An original and completely unexpected gin! For this creation, we infused real pickles into the aromatic base of Citadelle Gin Original.
These delightful pickles come from Maison Marc, a favorite among gastronomes, Michelin-starred chefs, and fans of French terroir.
This family-run business grows its Cucumis Sativus without pesticides, herbicides, or preservatives and always hand-harvests in Burgundy.
On the palate…
Expect intense, herbaceous notes of juniper and anise, followed by the vinegary and green character of the pickle, which adds a saline dimension. The finish is long and persistent, with subtle hints of mustard and pearl onions.
Citadelle Bajan
Citadelle Bajan is a bold, limited-edition expression that brings together two worlds: the refined elegance of Citadelle Gin and the vibrant spirit of Barbados. Distilled at the historic Stade’s West Indies Rum Distillery, this unique gin celebrates collaboration, craftsmanship, and a shared passion for exploration. Bright, citrus-forward, and sun-soaked, Citadelle Bajan captures the warmth and identity of the island in every sip.
On the Palate…
Citadelle Bajan opens with vivid citrus notes, led by fresh pink grapefruit that delivers both juiciness and a subtle bitterness. Floral hints of hibiscus add brightness and a gentle berry-like lift, while bay leaf and lemongrass bring a fresh herbal dimension. The palate is round and silky, with a lively, refreshing structure that carries through to a long, vibrant finish, citrus-driven, aromatic, and unmistakably Citadelle, now with a true Barbadian accent.
