Ripe, flambéed banana lifted by a drop of Cognac - a fruit liqueur that is far more complex than its yellow colour suggests.
Expert's Description
Giffard's Banane de Bresil Premium Liqueur is a French Fruit liqueur based on banana, bottled at 25% ABV.
Giffard is a French, family-owned liqueur house from Angers in the Loire Valley, founded in 1885 by the pharmacist and herbalist Émile Giffard, who invented a white mint liqueur with digestive properties. Its success led him to convert his pharmacy into a distillery, and today - five generations later - the house is still family-run, producing more than 60 fruit and herbal liqueurs for bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts around the world. The liqueur is part of the Giffard Premium Liqueurs range, ten top-quality liqueurs created to be the leading flavour in a cocktail, where the origin of each main ingredient is carefully selected and guaranteed. The liqueur is made from Brazilian bananas, gently macerated and enhanced with a drop of Cognac, without artificial flavours or colours - the golden hue comes solely from the banana infusion.
Taste
The nose is strong with ripe banana in both fresh and dried form, with buttery, flambéed banana, vanilla, caramel and a soft tropical richness. The palate opens creamy with banana, buttery and baking-spice notes, where vanilla and ginger meet a warmth from the Cognac, while brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon add complexity. The finish is quick and clean with vanilla notes, with no burn.
