The excessive added sweetness is simply too much for me to handle. Absolutely not. First spirit in the team's blind tasting competition.

About this bottle
Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin, introduced in October 2016, is a limited bottling from Maison Ferrand. Caribbean brown sugar is toasted and lightly caramelized, then steeped in alcohol. This infused sugar matures in spirit casks for 3-4 months. Subsequently, it is added to Citadelle Reserve Gin, a barrel-aged version of their standard gin, and spends an additional four months in casks for complete integration. The bottling strength is 46% ABV.

The aroma resembles turpentine, but the taste is far superior. However, the smell is challenging to overcome. It finishes quite sweet.
Thick and viscous. Demerara sugar is a dominant characteristic. Excellent served on ice with some acidity.
This is truly exceptional. Featuring notes of toasted almonds, baking spices, and juniper. Highly recommended.
A little too sweet for my liking, but a very interesting experience.
Incredibly pleasant sweetness, brown sugar
