Giffard Violet Liqueur 16% 70 cl

Deep violet and floral - Giffard Crème de Violette brings the classic Parisian cocktail bar's secret weapon straight to the home bar.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Giffard Crème de Violette is a French violet liqueur from the house of Giffard in Angers, bottled at 16% ABV.

Giffard was founded in 1885 by the pharmacist Émile Giffard in Angers, and the house is today, five generations on, still family-run. Crème de Violette is made by extracting the scent and flavour of violet flowers, which gives the liqueur its characteristic deep violet colour and floral aroma. The liqueur is a fixture in classic cocktails such as the Aviation, where its subtle, perfumed character is essential to the drink's balance.

Smag

The taste is floral and perfumed with a distinct violet character, balanced by a soft sweetness and a light, delicate bitter edge. The aroma is intense and floral, while the palate is silky without becoming overly sweet.
