Giffard Noix de Coco Coconut Liqueur (18%)

A coconut liqueur made in France by the Giffard family. It begins with a neutral spirit base, with fresh grated coconut flesh macerated to capture natural oils and aromatics, then lightly sweetened and filtered. Bottled at 18% ABV, it is intended to add richness to cocktails, dessert drinks and tropical spritzes without being heavy or overly sugary. Professional tasters praise its clean, natural coconut flavour, elegant sweetness and versatility, and it is often recognised as a premium alternative to heavier cream-based coconut liqueurs. On the nose there is fresh coconut flesh, coconut cream, light vanilla, toasted coconut shavings and subtle tropical sweetness. The palate is smooth, bright and intensely coconut-forward, with coconut milk, sweet vanilla and soft nutty undertones. The finish is clean and lightly sweet, with lingering coconut, a touch of tropical warmth and a polished, refreshing fade.
