St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur (70cl, 20%)

St. Germain is an elderflower liqueur made from fresh elderflowers harvested by hand in late spring. The harvest window lasts only three to four weeks, with picking usually done early in the morning at cooler temperatures. The selected flowers are processed by infusion, and each bottle contains the essence of up to 1,000 elderflowers. The golden colour comes from flower pollen, with no artificial colourings or flavourings added. Pear and honeysuckle also shape the sweet-floral character. The nose shows fine, sweet elderflower notes with peach and subtle citrus. The palate combines elderflower, citrus fruits and pear in a balanced taste, with a fine meringue note. The finish is long, with elderflower, gooseberry and lingering citrus.
