ORIGINALE ULTRA PREMIUM
70cl - 40°
Born in the heart of the Aÿ-Champagne region, Guillotine Originale is an ultra-premium vodka crafted exclusively from the finest pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. Produced in a century-old distillery, this 100% French, 100% natural, gluten-free and vegan spirit masterfully blends ancestral techniques with modern savoir-faire. Its crystalline clarity and complex structure have earned it the Gold Medal at the Concours Mondial des Spiritueux in Brussels.
Tasting Notes
The nose is sharp and lively, defined by a precise citrus freshness with vivid lemon character. The palate opens with a supple, silky attack before giving way to a beautifully layered complexity. Fruit dominates throughout — bright citrus intertwined with a delicate hint of Zante currants. The finish is clean and well-balanced, with a secondary note of almond, a gentle bitterness, and a subtle saline quality that makes it an ideal companion to caviar and smoked fish.
HERITAGE BARREL-AGED
70cl - 45°
Guillotine Heritage is the only French vodka from Champagne-region vineyards to be aged in oak barrels. Crafted in a century-old distillery that seamlessly blends artisanal methods with modern expertise, this exceptional expression is matured in acclaimed Limousin oak casks — the same wood used for the greatest Cognacs and Armagnacs. This ageing process gives Heritage its distinctive golden amber hue and a warmth reminiscent of the finest French spirits. Double Gold Medal at the 2019 SIP Awards.
Tasting Notes
The colour is a flawless amber drawing towards gold. The nose opens on refined woody notes from Limousin oak, evoking the quiet elegance of a cigar box, with vanilla and cinnamon lending a harmonious, well-calibrated spice. The palate is smooth and refreshing, with a beautifully sustained mid-palate amplitude. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, gradually revealing a distinct umami character — the elusive fifth flavour — with lingering notes of liquorice and Sichuan pepper on the finish.
CAVIAR VODKA
70cl - 40°
The result of an exclusive collaboration between Guillotine and Petrossian Paris — the iconic ambassador of fine caviar — Guillotine Caviar Ossetra is the world’s first vodka to incorporate caviar into its distillation process. After years of pioneering research, this groundbreaking method infuses 20 grams of Ossetra caviar per litre distilled, producing an expression of absolute prestige. Awarded 14 times in international competitions, including the Double Gold Medal at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Tasting Notes
The nose is delicate and captivating, revealing iodine-laced notes with an almost smoky depth. On the palate, the texture is full and dense, the mid-palate delivering a rich, unctuous quality and an unmistakable sensation reminiscent of caviar pearls bursting on the tongue. This richness is gracefully counterbalanced by the bright citrus freshness of Guillotine Originale at its base. A vodka of extraordinary finesse and subtlety, where the perfect balance of flavours converges for an intensely striking tasting experience.
