Tastes

Sweet berries and a little almond in nose and flavor, almondy aftertaste, almost no juniper, very smooth and sippable even neat, very fruity for a gin that doesn't have the fruit in the name.

Hints of more natural lemon notes can be made out if you analyze it intensely enough, but the overwhelming character is artificial and chemical and difficult to compare to anything other than bathroom cleaner. Priced regularly, got mine for 16.5 EUR per Bottle, either way not worth paying for.

Very little juniper, very sweet and strong blood orange flavor practically comes across as artificial and candy-like.

Very light juniper, strong and sweet pink grapefruit, very little sourness or bitterness make the fruit taste a little artificial, odd flavor notes of rose on the side, could've been sold as a Grapefruit & Rose gin.

Dominant in beautifully rich lemon, a hint of juniper on the side. Incredibly summery, dangerously easily drinkable with tonic even at a higher than usual ratio.

Very light overall, slight juniper, slight lemon which feels a little one-dimensional compared to the much more lemon forward Malfy Gin con Limone. Very summery, dangerously easily drinkable.

Strongly herbal with medium juniper, minty notes and a stingy burn neat. Tonic retains the herbal character and leaves a slightly bitter and peppery aftertaste.

Light overall profile, slightly citrusy and slightly perfumy with a hint of acetone. With tonic the citrus is a little muted and the sweet florals and spices form an odd undertone reminiscent of gasoline. Based on the wording the score should be much harsher but it's still light and easy to drink regardless.

Medium juniper, airy citrus second in rank, I also thought I made out a certain earthiness and it comes across as a little muted overall. Well palatable and easy but not quite lively and exciting enough to pass as a summery gin. I try to avoid comparisons to other gins but in this case it's too fitting because it's the same brand, and the standard Citadelle is to the Jardin d'Été what looking at a summer garden through a window is to actually sitting in a summer garden.

Extremely sweet even when mixed, strong peach flavor with subtle notes of strawberry and orange, can't make out any juniper, practically tastes like a peach schnapps or peach liqueur.
