Merlet C² Citron is a blend of fresh and spicy cognacs married to a homemade lemon infusion.
Lemon and lime peels are selected to offer a unique aromatic palette.
First, natural infusions are made by macerating separately lemon zest and lime purée. A part of these lemon infusions is distilled. Then, non-distilled lemon infusions, lemon distillates and cognacs are blended. Finally, sugar is added to get the final liqueur.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: lemon with notes of ginger, liquorish and spices.

Mouth: cognac, lemon and limes are completely melted together. Then, the freshness of the citruses’ zests appears and grows slowly, combined with vanilla, fruits, and wood of the cognac. C² Citron lingers exceptionally with an aftertaste of a lively bitterness and acidity, as well as spices notes.
