Giffard - Fruit De La Passion (750ml)
It all started because there was a heat wave in France in the summer of 1885. Emile Giffard, a pharmacist living in Angers in the Loire Valley, concocted a white mint liqueur which he promptly put to the test, offering it to guests at the local hotel as relief against the heat. Having found instant success, Emile turned the pharmacy into a distillery and today, five generations on, the business is still in the family and now produces 85 different syrups derived from plants and fruits and ten different fruit cordials, including this one, a blend of passion fruit juice with a base spirit made from sugar beets. Here aromas of bright, aromatic passion fruit prime the palate for an explosion of candied passion fruit bolstered by hints of guava and Mandarin orange with lustrous acidity .
