Distillerie de Quebec Trait-Carre Dry Gin

Trait-Carre 1665 is an aged Canadian dry gin from Distillerie de Quebec. Built from the 14-botanical profile of Trait-Carre Gin, it matures in specially selected small American rye whisky barrels, developing a golden colour and greater complexity while retaining juniper, citrus and boreal botanical character.

Food Pairing: Pair with smoked meats, roast pork, aged cheeses, charcuterie, or caramelized root vegetables.

Tasting Notes: Amber in appearance, combining classic gin botanicals with citrus, boreal forest character, caramel and confectionery notes from its maturation in American rye whisky barrels.

Nose: Moderate intensity with juniper leading, followed by citrus peel and complex boreal forest aromas.

Palate: Botanical gin character complemented by caramel and confectionery notes, with a surprisingly smooth texture despite its higher strength.

Finish: Juniper, spices and citrus carry through the finish.

Serve: Enjoy neat or over ice, or use in whisky-style classics such as a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
