Citadelle Gin has unveiled its latest addition to Singapore’s gin scene: Citadelle Rouge. This new expression is a vibrant celebration of the French tradition of distilling seasonal fruits. Citadelle Rouge (41.7% ABV) is crafted from Citadelle Original Gin, infused with rhubarb, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant to deliver a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors.
A Clear and Natural Delight
Despite its name, Citadelle Rouge (with ‘rouge’ translating to ‘red’ in English) remains crystal clear, without any added sugars. The natural fruit infusion and distillation process extract the vibrant aromas of the fruits, transforming them into a pure, transparent spirit that bursts with flavor. This fruit-forward gin maintains the dry profile of Citadelle Original Gin, enhanced by the luscious tartness of red berries and the tangy kick of rhubarb.
