Giffard Crème de Cacao Blanc (25%)

Giffard Crème de Cacao Blanc is a clear, sweet chocolate liqueur built on high-quality cocoa beans, with strong chocolate aroma tempered by hints of vanilla, coffee and caramel. It is produced by Giffard & Cie in Angers, Loire Valley, France, at about 25% ABV. The base ingredients are cocoa beans, sugar-beet neutral alcohol and sugar, with subtle vanilla and caramel notes. The white version removes pigments while retaining cocoa flavour, giving chocolate flavour without dark colouring. On the nose there is strong cocoa with a slight coffee note, enriched by vanilla and caramel. The palate is very soft and sweet, with initial sugar and vanilla tones followed by strong white chocolate and milk chocolate flavours, cocoa and gentle bitterness balanced by sweetness. The finish is smooth and creamy, with lingering cocoa and vanilla and a light caramel undertone.
