Guillotine Originale is an ultra-premium French vodka distilled from Champagne-region grapes (pinot and chardonnay) from Aÿ-Champagne, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Guillotine is a revolutionary French vodka, 100% French and 100% natural, created exclusively from the Aÿ-Champagne region's finest pinot and chardonnay grapes. The grapes are handpicked and de-seeded, slowly pressed and patiently distilled to preserve their essence. Gluten-free and vegan-friendly, it is made with no preservatives, coloring agents or artificial sweeteners. Originale won the only gold medal at the Concours Mondial Spirits Awards in Brussels and gold at the 2019 Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition.
Light, smooth and aromatic, the nose is sharp with soft notes of fresh lemon. The spirit coats the mid-palate with citrus, hints of almond and toffee and a light fruity touch of Zante currants, flowing into a clean, well-balanced finish.
The frosted bottle with its red, white and blue slash makes it a striking gift.
