Geoffrey Harrington 4.5

A familiar aroma with perhaps only a subtle hint of gherkin. Overall, it's very lemon and juniper forward. On the palate, the flavors are smooth and bright, with just a touch of salinity and dill appearing alongside the typical botanicals. The addition of pickle notes is a subtle effect that works well in gin Martinis. This is a flavorful and pleasing addition to Citadelle's lineup.
