Tasting Notes
"Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin pours an attractive golden straw color and shows layered aromas of golden raisin, cinnamon, baked lemon, and a powerful background of refreshing juniper. The palate is rich and lush from the added sugar with more tones of ripe, yellow fruits and a bit of exotic spice that culminate in another blast pine-driven juniper berry."
