Canton Ginger Liqueur (75cl, 28%)

Canton Ginger Liqueur is a French ginger liqueur made with Vietnamese baby ginger and VSOP cognac. The ginger is picked, washed and hand-cubed, then cooked with herbs and spices before being infused with VSOP-grade cognac in Jarnac. Tahitian vanilla beans and Provençal honey are blended in, and the use of baby ginger gives the liqueur its viscosity and brighter spice character. The aroma opens with fresh ginger, raw honey sweetness and citrus peel, with faint cognac warmth and vanilla beneath. The palate brings candied ginger, honey and vanilla, with cognac depth, and the finish is long with peppery ginger warmth, lemon zest and a mild red-pepper tingle.
