A chili liqueur from Giffard of Angers, France — the family house crafting liqueurs since 1885 — made from the maceration of fresh whole Espelette peppers with a hint of rhum agricole from Martinique, for strong aromatic intensity with warm and spicy notes. The Espelette pepper, originally from Central America, is a variety of Capsicum annuum traditionally grown in the Basque Country, appreciated for its slender red fruits and its gentle heat of force 4 on the Scoville scale; its cultivation there has developed in an exceptional natural environment protected since the 17th century. Lactose-free, gluten-free, vegan, and preservative-free.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright straw yellow with coppery gold hues.
Nose: Bold and herbaceous — fresh chili pepper and freshly cut grass with gentle heat.
Palate: Dry chili flavor, smooth and warm, with a rising, persistent spiciness and a gourmet cocoa finish — caramelized and slightly musky aftertaste.
How to Use: Signature drinks or a twist on classics — a spicy Margarita variation, a Michelada accent, or a daring Bloody Mary.
Awards: Silver Medal, Bartenders' Brand Awards 2022 (Taste, Value, Design).
ABV: 40% (80 Proof)
