Eyguebelle Oblitus Periit 1984 (43%)

Oblitus Periit is a French herbal liqueur from the Drôme, made in 1984 and aged for 31 years in an oak cask. The cask was forgotten, and the liqueur was only found and bottled in 2015. The Latin name refers to that long period of neglect. It is built on more than fifty plants, herbs and flowers, in the tradition of the old monastic recipes linked to the house of Eyguebelle. The exact recipe remains confidential. After three decades in oak, 353 litres were recovered, giving an outturn of 461 bottles at 43% vol. The long contact with the wood let the plant components integrate and build a complex aromatic structure.
