A Bit of History: A tribute to the Quebec City community nucleus called the Trait-Carré created by the Jesuits in the 17th century at King Louis-XIV’s request.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Transparent and colourless
Nose: Moderate intensity where we find the classic aroma of juniper berry in the foreground, with citrus peels. Later, a complex array of boreal undergrowth scents adds another dimension.
Palate: The warmth is enveloping, the juniper berries give amplitude to the floral, spicy and citrus aromas.
Finale: Persistent and seducing
The Experience: Trait-Carré is a classic swinging gin that easily stands out on ice, in tonics or in many cocktails.
