Absinthe which for years was produced in Pontarlier in the east of France and then prohibited due to medical risks is again legal. The plant is grown in Pontarlier and then distilled along with green aniseed. When tasting it you will note a taste somewhat similar to that of aniseed but very different at the same time: an incomparable flavour.

Notre Armagnac VS bénéficie de l'appellation "Bas Armagnac" car il est produit sur la partie occidentale du Gers. Il est issu des cépages colombard, ugni blanc et folle blanche. La distillation se fait dans de vieux alambics armagnacais, peu productifs mais au combien essentiels pour obtenir la finesse de cet armagnac ! Notre Armagnac VS, "Very Special" est vieilli 3 ans en fûts de chêne. Notes de dégustation : Armagnac jaune pâle, brillant et limpide. Le nez est très légèrement boisé et vanillé. En bouche, le premier contact est franc, nerveux. Bien équilibré la sensation alcooleuse est puissante mais non agressive, et laisse place aux notes de vanille, de raisin frais et de pommes fraîches. La finale "fruits frais" est d'une bonne longueur. Learn More

Bergamot is the fruit of the bergamot tree a tree which is mainly grown in Italy. Bergamot oranges are the result of crossing a bitter orange variety with a lime variety. Its flesh is slightly acidic and bitter. Only the zest of the orange is used in order to extract a natural essential oil from it which is used in the renowned Earl Grey tea and also in bergamote de Nancy sweets. Due to the acidic characteristic of bergamot essential oil our Bergamot Orange Cream has had conferred on it a fresh somewhat lemony taste but it also has a more spicy – even smooth – note.

As is the case with all of Briottet Crèmes de Cassis (blackcurrant creams), for the Crème de Cassis 20% we use the most prestigious variety of blackcurrant -- the "Noir de Bourgogne" (black Burgundy, literally) variety, which is only grown in the Côte d'Or department (county) in Burgundy. These blackcurrant berries are macerated in a water-alcohol solution for about 10 weeks in order that all of their aromas are extracted from them. The juice containing alcohol thus obtained is then known as an "infusion". The infusion is the basic ingredient in Crème de Cassis, to which is added white sugar. Our Crème de Casse with 20% alcohol content is our top-of-the-range due to the very high percentage of blackcurrant it contains. It is our flagship product and our best-selling product, out of all of our products. Our ancestral know-how means that this product is of the very highest quality and means that this Crème can be employed for uses as varied as cooking, desserts and the very popular "white wine-cassis" aperitif drink. We received an award (gold medal) for this product at the Drinks Business Liqueurs Masters 2011. "A complex nose, subtle, fresh fruit, rich in the mouth, a bitter note, a pleasant liveliness, and an intense fruity finish", according to the "Le Point" French news magazine, 17/11/2011. Learn More

Sloes are small fruit with stones which are black tinged with blue and come from sloe shrubs (which are also known as blackthorn), and are found in hedgerows exposed to the sun. Even though they are ripe in September, they are only picked after the first frost of winter, which makes them softer and less bitter. To produce Briottet's Sloe Liqueur, what are in fact used are the sloe's stones, with the skin and flesh removed. The stones are then dried and are macerated in extra-fine alcohol for almost a year. The powerful and authentic taste which is produced by using the stones is then tempered through the careful addition of not too much and not too little sugar. Sloe Liqueur is perfect as an after-dinner drink. "Mark: 16/20. An almond nose, marzipan, a powerful mouth, a note of pistachio, delicious, harmonious, with a long finish". "Le Point" French news magazine, 17/11/2011.
