Alexandre Gabriel, while he has led French cognac house Maison Ferrand, is also the owner and Master Blender of Plantation Rum and the storied West Indies Rum Distillery, to boot. This rum fascination has sent him as far afield as anyone – and yet he keeps introducing one delicious variation after another.
Alexandre has a great passion for gin as well, and has studied gin making and gin history in depth. It was this interest that brought him to an 18th century Genever distillery in the citadelle (or old fort) of Dunkirk, France. He found an old gin recipe which he has refreshed for today’s gin connoisseurs and created Citadelle Gin. It is one of the only gins distilled in very small copper pot stills and made with 19 botanicals from all over the word. It is made one cask at a time in the heart of the Cognac region, in the same pot stills that produce Ferrand Cognac (at the time of year when Cognac cannot be distilled as per AOC regulations).
