Mathieu Paquet Creme de Cassis (30%)

Paquet M Crème de Cassis is a French blackcurrant liqueur made in the tradition of Burgundy's cassis heritage, using Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants grown on limestone and clay soils at elevated sites. The berries are macerated in high-quality neutral spirit, then sugar is added. It is bottled at about 30% ABV and is intended for cocktails such as the kir and kir royale, or as a drizzle over desserts or sparkling wine. The nose is fruity and expressive, with deep blackcurrant aromatics and ripe berry compote. The palate is lush and velvety, with concentrated cassis flavour, juicy dark berries and a smooth, sweet texture. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit sweetness and a vibrant impression of cassis.
