Combier Framboise Liqueur (37.5cl, 20%)

A French raspberry liqueur from Saumur in the Loire Valley, produced by the Combier Distillery. Fresh raspberries from the Loire Valley undergo maceration in neutral alcohol for up to four months, extracting deep, layered raspberry flavour and fragrance. The distillery has produced liqueurs since the mid-19th century and received the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label in 2016. It was also awarded at the 2004 International Spirits Challenge. Bottled at 20% ABV in a 375ml format, it is suited to sipping chilled and neat or mixing in cocktails such as a Kir Royale, Clover Club or French Martini. Aroma: fresh raspberry, subtle vanilla and ripe berry sweetness. Taste: tangy, tart ripe raspberry, deepening into stewed berry and jam-like richness. Finish: smooth, slightly sweet, with lingering raspberry and a gentle return of tartness.
