Heritage & Distillery
Grey Goose Citron applies the brand's meticulous five-step production process to a lemon-infused variant that has earned a loyal following among bartenders and discerning drinkers. The lemon zest infusion is conducted with the same attention to quality that characterises everything Grey Goose produces, and the result is a citrus vodka that manages to be both distinctly flavourful and elegantly restrained.
Production & Tasting
On the nose, Citron is bright and inviting — fresh lemon zest dominates, with a Meyer lemon sweetness that adds depth and a citrus clarity that is unmistakably natural in character. The clean wheat base provides a foundation that supports rather than competes with the citrus.
The palate is crisp and elegant, with lemon zest providing a vibrant top note, delicate tartness adding complexity, and the smooth, silky Grey Goose mouthfeel ensuring continuity with the core expression's premium credentials. This is not a sharp or aggressive lemon vodka but one of genuine sophistication. The finish is medium, with lemon brightness persisting before a clean, refreshing, dry close.
Verdict
Grey Goose Citron is among the finest lemon-flavoured vodkas available, and its elegance makes it a natural choice for Lemon Drop Martinis and other citrus-forward cocktails where quality matters. The premium over standard Grey Goose is the same £1.75 as L'Orange, and the quality is equally justified. Recommended for those who appreciate subtlety in their flavoured spirits.
