Four women shape the heart of Maison Ferrand's spirits every day alongside our Master Blender, Alexandre Gabriel. Between creativity, rigorous scientific testing and sensory analysis they give us a peak behind the curtain.
Among the citrus fruits frequently used by Maison Ferrand, there is one we particularly cherish: yuzu. Yet the quest for the best fruit was not easy. Our adventure took us from the lush climate of Japan to the sun kissed streets of Morocco and finally back to our home of distillation in Bonbonnet.
What better way to celebrate Pickle Day on November 14 than with Citadelle Vive le Cornichon? The first release in our Citadelle Excentrique range – centered on an unexpected star, the pickle – has already taken home a gold medal at The Spirits Business Gin Masters.
