Giffard Poire William (Pear) bar liqueur /25%/0.7l

The Giffard brand made its debut in 1885 thanks to the pharmacist and owner of a pharmacy in Angers, Émile Giffard, and his Menthe-Pastille liqueur.

Soon Giffard hung up his chemist's apron and bought a small distillery, and the company he founded remains in the hands of the family to this day and is managed by his great-great-grandchildren, siblings Bruno and Edith Giffard. Their collection of liqueurs and bartender syrups is as unique as it is diverse, including the classic Cassis or Curaçao Triple Sec, as well as the very innovative Banane du Brèsil and Pamplemousse. The company's flagship product remains Menthe-Pastille, the rest are grouped into three categories: Premium, Specialty and syrups. In the Specialty category, we find fruit creams and classic liqueurs, the latter represented by the Liqueur de Poire William presented here.

The key to the high quality of Giffard's products is over 130 years of family tradition and experience in maceration of fresh fruits and herbs using new techniques most appropriate for a given variety.

Liqueur de Poire William is made from eau-de-vie distilled from Williams pears. It has a clear color and a strong pear aroma and flavor with hints of grape, honey, and a pinch of white pepper. While Giffard recommends serving it in a cocktail mixed with aged dark rum and chocolate syrup, we recommend just ice.
