Giffard Piment d'Espelette Liqueur
Introduction
Giffard Piment d'Espelette Liqueur is a premium chile liqueur from the country of France, with production based in Angers in the Loire Valley. The key ingredient, Piment d'Espelette, is a rare, hand-harvested red chile pepper grown only in a limited area of the Basque region of France. This pepper, which has a warm heat of force 4 on the Scoville scale, has held AOP/DPO (Protected Designation of Origin) recognition since the 17th century. The Giffard company, renowned for its commitment to quality and taste, has been producing liqueurs since pharmacist Emile Giffard began his work in 1885.
Spirit Description
This chile liqueur is made from the maceration of whole, fresh Espelette peppers, with a hint of aged rhum agricole from Martinique added to the final blend for depth. The maceration process includes the green stalks of the peppers to impart a grassy note.
Colour: Bright straw yellow, with an intense shine and copper-gold reflections.
Nose: It is frank and herbaceous, with notes of fresh chili-pepper and freshly cut grass, balanced by a gentle warmth in the background.
Palate: The attack is dry, followed by assertive chili and a smooth, warm mid-palate with hints of vanilla and sweet spices. The intensity of the spice rises but is well-judged and not overpowering.
Body: The liqueur has a strong aromatic intensity with balanced, warm, and spicy notes.
Finish: The finish is a gourmet cocoa, persistent spiciness, with a caramelized and slightly musky aftertaste.
ABV: It is bottled at 40% ABV.
