Citrus Gin – Panama Papers

Citris Gin – Faude feine Brände for Panama Papers

The Citris Gin by Faude feine Brände, distilled for Panama Papers, is an incredibly fresh, lemony German gin where Sicilian citrus fruits meet juniper. Fruity gins already existed, but the guys from Panama Papers didn't find them natural enough. Following the great success of the Rubus Gin with raspberries, a new superlative has been achieved here: probably the most citrusy gin on the market! For the Citris Gin, whose name refers to the botanical designation of the genus of rue family plants, which include lemons, grapefruit, and mandarins, 100 grams of sun-ripened citrus fruits are distilled per gin bottle, which is a huge amount.

This explains the unbelievably citrusy-fruity scent that emanates from the bottle or glass. This then expands with fine essential aromas of lemon peel, bergamot and pine resin, then creamier citrus notes such as lemon curd and orange blossoms. On the palate, Citris Gin is mild but complex. Now classic notes of juniper berries and clove, cedarwood, and lime leaf reveal themselves. Lemongrass, lime, and orange, then fine cassia bark introduce the finish with hints of elderflower and rose blossom. A total of 10 botanicals ensure this unique taste. And while Florian sources the citrus fruits from a befriended farmer in Sicily, the elderflowers grow directly outside his door in Kaiserstuhl.

As a result, Citris Gin is a highly aromatic distillate that contains absolutely no artificial flavors. As Florian always says: "Every distillate begins on the tree, on the bush, or in the field. Because what shows up in the glass must already be in the fruit. It's that simple. If you put something good in, something good comes out!"

by bartenders – for the cocktail menu

Alexander Mayer and Leopold Langer are professional bartenders, and passionate about it. While one mixes at One Trick Pony in Freiburg, the other calls Schwarz Weiß Bar in Ludwigsburg his own. Even though the bar scene is no longer that small, people know each other and sometimes hatch a project like this one. All that's missing is the right distiller. And in this case, that's Florian Faude from Faude feine Brände. Florian distills in Kaiserstuhl and is known for maximum quality, his experimental spirit, and his mission to mix with fruit brandies. Florian is the congenial addition to this trio for this unique gin experience. Together, in 2016, they developed a gin by bartenders for bartenders, a gin for the cocktail menu.
