Ekspertens beskrivelse

Giffard's Piment D'Espelette Premium Liqueur is a French spiced liqueur at 40% ABV, produced by Giffard in Angers from Espelette pepper.

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 and syrups for bartenders around the world. This Premium Liqueur is built on the protected Basque Espelette pepper, known for its mild but persistent heat, which is macerated to give the liqueur a deep, spiced character.

Smag

The nose is spiced and lightly smoky with clear pepper notes, while the palate opens warm and full with a persistent but pleasant chilli heat that builds slowly and leaves a lightly sweet, spiced aftertaste.
