Le Birlou Liqueur 0.7L 18% Homemade liqueur Success stories of spirits or liqueurs often start small, as a person's dream. This is also the case with 'Le Birlou' liqueur. Henri Monier created the liqueur, which consists of a mixture of chestnut liqueur, apple syrup and beer, in his workshop in Veinazès, in the Cantal region, and gave it to friends and relatives. The name of the product is made up of two of these three components of the liqueur: Bir stands for beer (in French bière) and the term for the prickly chestnut shell, 'lou'. In 1998, due to the positive response to his product, Henri Monier decided to acquire a license and sell his liqueur nationwide. Drinking pleasure When tasting, all taste buds are stimulated by the various properties of the components. On the nose, the liqueur delights with intense notes of sweet, juicy apples and the spicy aroma of chestnuts. On the palate, the liqueur shows a very soft side and envelops it. Here, too, the fruity, juicy apple notes are in the foreground, with spicy, nutty chestnut aromas complementing them wonderfully.

Dolin Coeur de Genepi Liqueur 0.5L 50% Original recipe unchanged for 200 years Genepi is translated into German as a name for various plant species, but is often also just used as a name for mugwort, or is also often used as a name for a traditional Alpine liqueur. A specially composed Alpine herb mixture is used for the Dolin Coeur de Genepi liqueur. This is then macerated for several weeks in the base alcohol and is then NOT distilled, unlike absinthe and the like. The Alpine liqueur is particularly popular and well-known in the French and Italian Alps. The Dolin Genepi comes from the French part of the Alps. The aroma is a wonderful combination of floral and herbaceous notes combined in a creamy liqueur. To intensify the taste even further, you will find a branch of the spiked rue, which is very well known in the Alps, in the bottle. To enjoy the full aroma, you should serve the Genepi liqueur on ice. This way you can discover the herbal aromas paired with subtle vanilla and the association of cut grass.

Foxdenton Christmas Liqueur 0.05L 19.5% Foxdenton Estate The estate is said to have been owned by the Radclyff family since 1569, but the distillery as we know it today was not founded until 1935. After the death of founder Alexander, the company was passed on to his son Nicohlas Radclyff in 2001. However, the family-run company has always had the same goal: To produce gin and fruit gin products that reflect the authentic style of the English country. To do this, they only use products that come from English agriculture wherever possible. Seasonal products are also an important point in the production of Radclyff's. Christmas notes The basis here is again the London Dry Gin from Foxdenton. This time it has been refined with ripe plums and a whole basket of spices. These include cinnamon, cloves and star anise, as well as oriental spices such as ginger and cardamom, which we would also classify as 'Christmas spices' in our latitudes. There are also aromatic Winslow plums, which provide a wonderfully fruity aroma. Now also available in miniature. Makes a great little gift in a homemade Advent calendar.

Five Farms Single Batch Irish Cream Liqueur 0.7L 17% Five Farms The Schlumberger sales company in Germany has now added one of the greatest and most sustainable Irish cream liqueurs to its range. It presents the farm-to-table premium Irish cream liqueur from the Five Farms distillery based in County Cork, Ireland. The special thing about this Irish cream liqueur is the long-standing, regional products. For example, the fresh cream is sourced from five family farms. Here the mother cows graze on lush pastures for at least 300 days a year, have plenty of outdoor space and enjoy a high quality of life. After milking, the milk is produced into cream using the single batch process and then mixed with carefully selected triple-distilled Irish whiskey within 48 hours. In direct comparison to conventional cream liqueurs as we know them in Germany, the one from Five Farms contains ten times more whiskey than usual brands offer. And the design of the bottle is also a real eye-catcher, a lot of thought has been put into the appearance and presentation and we think that is absolutely successful! The Five Farms Cream Liqueur comes in a dark glass bottle with a swing top and is reminiscent of a small milk bottle! Incomparable taste By quickly processing the fresh milk into cream and then marrying it with original Irish whiskey, Five Farms has succeeded in creating a cream liqueur with a unique taste profile. The aroma of the cream liqueur is dominated by notes such as caramel, butterscotch and vanilla, while notes of coffee, syrup and the wonderful aroma of fresh cream spread on the palate.

Captain Morgan Tiki Mango & Pineapple 0.7L 25% Henry Morgan The Welsh privateer and later Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica is the namesake of the rum brand Captain Morgan, which is now known worldwide. Seagram began producing rum in 1944 in the Long Pond distillery in Jamaica under the name 'Captain Morgan Rum Company'. The spiced rum as we know Captain Morgan today is thanks to a family of pharmacists from Kingston. They bought the raw rum and then refined it with herbs and spices, allowed it to mature and bottled it for sale. The CEO of Seagram took notice and ultimately bought the distribution rights. Today Captain Morgan belongs to the Diageo group and has been the best-selling rum brand in the world since 2004, with 54 million litres of rum sold. Mango & Pineapple The new flavoured Captain Morgan Mango & Pineapple is ideal for cocktails and long drinks. When you open the bottle, a tropical bouquet unfolds. The basis of this flavoured rum is Captain Morgan Black, which matures in burnt-out wooden barrels after distillation. Aromas of roasted coffee beans, vanilla and dark chocolate form the basis. This is then flavoured with notes of ripe mango and pineapple. This creates a coppery rum with its own character. The sweetness and acidity of mango and pineapple are perfectly matched and are reminiscent of a holiday in the Caribbean.

Foxdenton Christmas Liqueur 0.5L 19.5% Foxdenton Estate The estate is said to have been owned by the Radclyff family since 1569, but the distillery as we know it today was not founded until 1935. After the death of founder Alexander, the company was passed on to his son Nicohlas Radclyff in 2001.

Foxdenton Rhubarb 0.7L 21.5% Founded in 1935 The Foxdenton Estate winery was founded by the Radclyff family in the first quarter of the 20th century and is now family-run by the fourth generation. At that time, the aim was to preserve a piece of England and reflect all its facets. They began producing fruit gin liqueurs made from seasonal fruits from the region. Only a few years after they started their business, a friend of the family asked why the Radcylff's didn't actually produce a 'normal' London Dry Gin. No sooner said than done, they set about creating a product previously known as 'Export Strength' Gin. However, since there are many rules attached to this production, it was not at first that easy to develop a gin of the highest quality with a strong taste. It took around 6 months for Nick Radclyff, his friend and the master distiller to come to a conclusion. Today, all fruit liqueur gins are based on this London Dry Gin recipe. Rhubarb Gin Liqueur For a balanced gin liqueur with a rhubarb taste, the distillery only used the best rhubarb from Yorkshire. Its pink color is also based purely on the botanical, as Foxdenton does not use any coloring or additives. However, this pink gin should not be confused with the trendy 'pink gins', as these are usually based on gin mixed with berries and are therefore more fruity. With the rhubarb gin liqueur, however, the flavor profile goes in a completely different direction: The actually dominant acidity of the rhubarb has been well rounded off here and the addition of various herbs results in a very harmonious taste.

Foxdenton Lemon and Cucumber Liqueur 0.7L 20% Foxdenton Estate A few years before the Second World War, in 1935, an English family founded the Foxdenton Estate. To this day, it is run by the third and fourth generations and has managed to establish itself on the market. Over the years, the company has specialised in a particular product range: the production of English fruit gin liqueurs. These are, however, only produced on a very small scale. Foxdenton Estate places particular emphasis on regional and seasonal products. Gin liqueurs with seasonal fruits are made here according to their own traditional recipes, which, whenever possible, come from Great Britain. But the company also likes to try out unusual flavour combinations, as with the Lemon & Cucumber Liqueur: Based on Foxdenton's London Dry Gin, the combination of lemon and cucumber creates a super-fresh summery gin. Ideally, serve it as a gin and tonic, garnished with a slice of cucumber. But you can also combine it with sparkling elderflower water to create a fantastic summer drink.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Crème de Pêche de Vigne (Peach) 0.5L 16% Aelred This is the new brand of the already well-known Eygeubelle brand, which has a centuries-old tradition in the production of spirits. The distillery is located right in the heart of the Drôme Provencale, perfect conditions for herbal spirits. It all began with the creation of a monastery and the monks who lived there. They set about creating complex recipes for herbal and fruit liqueurs from various herbs and plants. Today, some of the spirits are still produced according to these old original recipes. This is how the legacy of the Cistercian monks can live on. Liqueur 1889 Creme Vineyards Peach Made from Rhône-Alpes vine peaches, the Creme de Pêche de Vigne offers an incredible aromatic quality. Intense aromas and a creamy mouthfeel give the impression of just biting into a freshly picked peach. The liqueur is versatile: in addition to being enjoyed pure on ice or as an addition to cocktails, the peach liqueur also cuts a fine figure in the kitchen, for example with ice cream or as a special ingredient in a salad dressing for a fruity note.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Creme Chataigne D'Ardeche (chestnut) 0.5L 16% Aelred These products under the new name 'Aelred' also come from the already well-known French spirits and liqueur brand Eyguebelle. The A and E are written together, 'Ælred', and are intended to represent the development of the company and the transition from Aiguebelle to Eyguebelle. Once you know that Eyguebelle translates as 'beautiful water', the new brand name also makes sense and is something like the spiritual version, Aelred stands for 'spirit of the source'. Liqueur 1889 Creme Ardeche Chestnut For the Chestnut Liqueur, only chestnuts from the Ardèche are used. It must be clearly mentioned here again that the term 'chestnut' refers to an edible variety. Sweet chestnuts (marrons) or chestnuts are relatives of the 'horse chestnut' that you know from the large parks. These are in fact inedible and some are poisonous. The fruits that are used in the liqueur come from specially grafted trees whose fruits are suitable for consumption. In terms of taste, the Chestnut Liqueur moves between sweet caramel notes and the nutty character of the chestnuts and is incredibly soft on the palate. It is particularly good as an accompaniment to cocktails, but it also shows its nutty aroma in the kitchen, for refining sauces or over vanilla ice cream. In 2018, the Liqueur 1889 Creme Ardeche Chestnut even won the gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris and the silver medal in 2020.

Crafted Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur 0.5L 21% Crafted Cold Brew is an ethically produced premium coffee liqueur, made with strong traceability and uncompromising craftsmanship. Crafted Cold Brew is the result of the shared passion of Lignell & Piispanen and Helsinki-based artisan monastery Kaffa Roastery with more than 180 years of craftsmanship. Behind every detail, from raw beans to a cold extracted glass, lies an unyielding attitude and a great passion for creating the best taste experiences. Hand roasted in Punavuori and cold extracted in Siikaranta. Made from high quality, responsibly grown Chikmagalurun Monsoon Malabar coffee beans. Therefore, the liqueur has less than normal sweetness. Serving suggestion Crafted Original: - 4 cl Crafted Cold Brew - 10 cl hot coffee - Sugar to taste - Cream Pour Crafted Cold Brew, sugar and hot coffee into a heat-resistant glass. Mix the ingredients with a spoon. Pour lightly whipped (loose) whipped cream on top.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Crème de Myrtille Sauvage (Blueberry) 0.5L 16% Aelred – the new spirits brand Founded in the heart of the Drôme Provencale, there is now a new brand from Eyguebelle. This name offers a range of the finest spirits of the highest quality and allows you to enjoy products with particular finesse and unique taste. The products of the new brand are divided into eight categories: Fruit-based aperitifs, aniseed aperitifs, cocktail liqueurs, fruit liqueurs up to 16% vol, fruit liqueurs from 35% vol to 40% vol, herbal aperitifs, dry spirits and plant liqueurs. Fruit liqueurs up to 16% vol. Aelred's fruit liqueurs are all based on fruit teas combined with pure alcohol and cane sugar. The subtle fruit notes are clearly evident in all of them. They are best served with a certain wine or prosecco. They are also used in desserts, for example as a topping for pancakes or ice cream. One of the products from the range of fruit liqueurs is blueberry liqueur. This is made from wild blueberries.

Aelred liqueur 1889 Creme de Mûre Sauvage (blackberry) 0.5L 16% In the footsteps of the old monks They were gifted experts in the world of herbs and plants and only in this way could the products made from plants, sugar and alcohol not only convince with their unmistakable taste, they were even said to have a digestive and invigorating effect. It all began with these plant liqueurs, which have such a long tradition, require masterly expertise that has been passed down from generation to generation and of course the most important factor: time. Today, in addition to the original products, the range also includes others, such as modern liqueurs with a low alcohol content and special aromas, anise liqueurs such as the well-known French pastis, fruit aperitifs and liqueurs. Liqueur or crème? In Aelred's premium segment, we find a range of spirits that have the word 'crème' in their name. What exactly is the difference between this and a normal liqueur? The sugar content of crème is even higher than that of a normal liqueur. This means that the aromas are even more intense. For the Mûre Sauvage, or wild blackberries in English, only wild blackberries are used, as they have a more distinctive taste than traditionally cultivated blackberries.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Genepi 0.7L 40% Génépi - Spiked rue This plant is found primarily in the Alpine regions of France, Italy, Austria and even Slovenia. It prefers to grow in rocky places or on rubble, preferably at altitudes of 1700-3800 meters. The herbaceous plant is now one of the plants on the Red List of endangered species, but is listed there as 'Least Concern'. Nevertheless, the IUCN recommends controlling the harvest for herbal liqueurs made from this plant. The aromatic plant from the Savoy Alps is used for the Génépi Liqueur 1889 and is harvested there from mid-July to mid-August. Once this has happened, the Génépi strands are macerated in alcohol for around 40 days, which means that the alcohol acts as a solvent to dissolve certain ingredients of the plant. After this process, cane sugar is added to the flavoured alcohol and then filtered. Génépi liqueur is characterised by its fresh, floral aroma and is preferably drunk as a digestif. But Génépi is also a real delight as an aperitif, and especially when well chilled.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Elixer Coiron Vert 0.7L 45% Ancient heritage The distillers have a whole arsenal of medicinal and aromatic plants at their disposal for the brand's herbal liqueurs. After production has resumed, it is first necessary to acquire specific knowledge, not only about the craftsmanship. The development of new recipes and the reworking of old ones also requires knowledge about the selection of mixtures, infusions or botanicals and, more generally, about the art of distilling. The fact that the recipes from back then were very sophisticated and were already of the highest quality is evident in the combination of herbs. Up to 55 different plants, including thyme, absinthe or myrtle, are used in a liqueur and harmonize perfectly with each other. Liqueur 1889 Elixer Coiron Vert Father Jean Bessier is the developer of this recipe. In 1889 he set about creating a very complex herbal liqueur that releases unexpected aromas when drunk. For this purpose, various botanicals were either infused and/or macerated. The liqueur is then stored or aged in old oak barrels that were previously used in the production of cognac or armagnac.

Aelred Liqueur 1889 Elixer Coiron Jaune 0.7L 43% The recipes for the spirits are sacred because they come from the old Cistercian monks who once lived there. The original recipe for 'l'Elixir de Vie', for example, dates back to 1239. Benedictus von Nuraien from the Villeneuve de Berg Abbey created it. Some of the other recipes for the spirits that are still available today also date back to the early days of the monastery and have been meticulously passed down from generation to generation. Tasting advice for herbal liqueurs of this quality Take the comparison with tasting a good wine. Here, with wine in your mouth, you suck in some air. In contrast, the complexity of a good herbal liqueur can best be understood when you exhale. The CO2 awakens the taste buds, so to speak, calms them down and the aromatic notes develop much better.

Jägermeister Manifest Herbal Liqueur 1.0L 38% Wolfenbüttel The year was 1934, when Curt Mast, son of a vinegar manufacturer, had refined his devotion and passion for spirits down to the smallest detail and wanted to make a breakthrough with this. Manifest – it's the difference that makes it The latest Jägermeister is based on the original recipe from 1935 and a few other botanicals. However, to give this liqueur a unique note, it was stored in small and large oak barrels for a year after distillation. This is a little longer than usual for the original Jägermeister. This gives the herbal liqueur not only its balanced aroma but also fine wood notes. Essentially, the manufacturing processes are not that different from those of the original Jägermeister. However, these small details sometimes make a big difference. The nose first reveals the typical herbal notes such as anise and an aroma of dried fruit, which turn into spicy notes with the familiar bitterness on the palate. The finish then reveals additional soft vanilla aromas and the expected wood aroma.

Flor de Cana Spresso Coffee Liqueur 0.7L 30% Who is actually responsible for this liqueur? As a rum producer, Flor de Cana from Nicaragua has been active in the spirits market for quite some time, more precisely already in the 5th generation. Sustainability is very, very important in the distillery. The rum is already a premium fair trade certified rum! It is produced using 100% renewable energy and without any additives or added sugar. Spresso coffee liqueur Coffee lovers probably know Nicaragua for its world-famous coffee cultivation. So what could be more obvious than combining rum from Flor de Canã with coffee? This experience has now been put into a coffee liqueur. Amazingly, this coffee liqueur contains no caffeine, which is because the liqueur, which is based on the 7-year-old Flor de Cana rum, is refined with 100% natural coffee syrup. After distilling and refining, the coffee liqueur is stored in small bourbon barrels at the foot of a still active volcano. A fine aroma of rum and oak wood notes spreads on the nose, accompanied by an intense coffee aroma and arouses the desire for more! Rum and coffee are also clearly present on the palate, accompanied by a slight dryness. It is best served neat and chilled or on the rocks. If you want to make something like a 'cocktail' with the Spresso coffee liqueur, you should mix it with well-chilled milk or cream.

Dolin Genepi Liqueur 1821 Brin 0.7L 40% 1821 This year is also the birth year of the vermouth liqueur. Joseph Chavasse developed a new recipe in this year, which was based on a vermouth liqueur from the neighboring city of Turin. The recipe, which has remained unchanged for 200 years, is now experiencing a comeback! Génépi is a very popular herbal liqueur, particularly in the French and Italian Alps. It is based on plants belonging to the genus Artemisia. The best known of these are wormwood or mugwort. In the most distant sense, Dolin Génépi is also seen as a vermouth liqueur or even as absinthe. However, there is a clear difference to absinthe: Génépi is NOT distilled, the herbs are simply macerated in alcohol and then seasoned with sugar. Alpine wormwood liqueur - Liqueur 1821 Brin In the glass it has a wonderfully delicate green color with golden reflections. A strong aroma with notes of mugwort reaches the nose when you open the bottle. On the palate, the Génépi Liqueur 1821 Brin is full of finesse and very well balanced. You should always keep a Génépi well chilled in the freezer so that you can enjoy it at any time. A little insider tip: For a special kind of dessert, simply pour some of the liqueur over vanilla, mint or chocolate ice cream and enjoy!

Dorda Sea Salt Caramel Liqueur 0.7L 18% Chopin The Dorda liqueurs are named after the Dorda family and are now in the second generation. The family bought the distillery in 2003 and restored its operations. Chopin is very proud to be a family-owned business through and through, which is reflected in the fact that family members work in various areas of the company. Great importance is placed on the highest quality and products are only produced in the smallest batches. In addition, the Chopin distillery is one of the few that produces 100% of its alcohol from raw, hand-picked ingredients. These ingredients all come from within a radius of 18 miles around the distillery, so that the freshest potatoes, rye and wheat are always on hand to make the spirits. Dorda Liqueurs With the new range of liqueurs, all of which are based on Chopin Rye Vodka, the distillery offers something more for the sweeter palate. The fine rye vodka is combined with various ingredients, one with chocolate and the other with sweet caramel. With the Dorda liqueurs, the perfect balance has been found between the strong Chopin Rye Vodka and fine flavors such as chocolate and salted caramel. No artificial ingredients are used in the production of the handmade liqueurs, for example the caramel for the liqueur is also handmade and finished with Maldon Sea Salt. Dorda liqueurs are ideal for enjoying neat. But the decadent liqueur is also not too fine for various other purposes. Enjoy it in coffee, over fine vanilla or chocolate ice cream or add it to a suitable dish, the ideas are almost limitless. And of course you can also conjure up a few interesting drinks with the Dorda Sea Salt Caramel Liqueur. We have selected a great recipe for you, the Dorda Cold Brew, perfect for hot summer days. Simply pour 1 part Dorda Sea Salt Caramel Liqueur, 2 parts cold brewed coffee and 4 parts milk over a glass with ice cubes and enjoy!

Tripulante Caribbean Elixir 0.7L 34% Caribbean liqueur based on rum Still a bit of an insider tip on the German market, we believe that it has good potential to establish itself here and to place its name well. Unfortunately, not much background information can be found out about this newcomer. What is clear, however, is that the Tripulante Caribbean Elixir is a dark rum blend from various Caribbean islands. We know nothing about maturation and storage, as many rums from the Caribbean usually come onto the market with an addition such as XO or Anejo, which stands for special (long) maturation. The Tripulante does not have such an addition directly, but the addition 'Elixir' can be found here. So you might think that this name also means particularly long storage in the sense of syrupy. In the case of rum, however, this addition refers to a rum-based distillate, which is usually flavored, and is therefore more aimed at the meaning of an extract of medicinal plants and various additives dissolved in alcohol. On the nose and palate, the focus is primarily on the sweet notes. In the mouth, however, the Tripulante unfolds other fruity components such as dried fruit and fresh figs. There is also a fine aroma of wood and smoke. The aftertaste is a great, soft rum liqueur that is also ideal for drinking neat or on ice.
