Wild elderflowers, hand-picked each spring, macerated into a floral liqueur with notes of lychee and saffron.
Expert's Description
Giffard's Wild Elderflower Premium Liqueur is a French Herbal liqueur based on elderflower, bottled at 20% 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. Dense clusters of a wild, pale yellow elderflower variety are hand-harvested each spring from the French countryside, naturally dried and macerated in small batches to capture their fragrant character.
Taste
The colour is golden yellow with fine green shades reminiscent of the elder bush itself. The nose is powerful and exotic with notes of lychee and spices such as saffron and liquorice, while the palate is floral and lifted by a light acidity, where rose, hawthorn and both fresh and dried flowers merge. Sweetness and acidity are finely balanced.
