Giffard Noisette (Hazelnut) bar liqueur /25%/0.7l

The Giffards come from the Loire Valley and were engaged in the textile trade in the 19th century.

The first to break with the family tradition was Émile Giffard, a graduate of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Poitiers. Shortly after his studies, he returned to his hometown and opened a pharmacy in the center of Angers. Émile was equally devoted to developing recipes for panaceas and alcoholic beverages. His first drink was called Chottin and was a bitter aperitif based on quinine. However, the turning point in his career was the year 1885 and the creation of Menthe-Pastille, which led to a change in career from a pharmacist to a distiller. The company founded by Émile remains in the hands of the family to this day and is managed by his great-great-grandsons, Bruno and Edith Giffard. They produce dozens of liqueurs and just as many bar syrups, which are available in over 60 countries.

Giffard Liqueur de Noisette is created by slow maceration of roasted hazelnuts in neutral alcohol. Its palette includes strong notes of hazelnuts and roasted almonds, as well as a hint of buttery popcorn. Giffard recommends it as an ingredient in the Go Nutz cocktail (40ml Liqueur de Noisette, 20ml dark rum, 10ml sugar syrup and 30ml lemon juice).
