Production
Marriage involves innovation as much as tradition. Giffard marks the absolute elsewhere of tradition. Violets had to be selected one by one, just because their petals had to have the best smell. Giffard gives you the best one can taste Giffard put all of this in the finest spirits and voilà: a liqueur so luxurious that the French can call it un violet de Cassis.
Appearance
See Giffard Violet, the ‘colour of a violet field at night’, its soft purple suggesting its floral sweetness, or its fragrant bouquet, or its elegant profile.
Aroma
Lift the bottle to pour, then back again to your nose. The seductive aroma of Giffard Violet unfurls, delicate yet voluptuous, a heady floral perfume of sweet violet and pastel narcissus wafts through the air. Spring gardens, sun-kissed meadows, and fresh breezes come to mind. With its Egyptian violet extract and rich vanilla flavours, this delicate and mouth-filling concoction is the breath of the countryside.
Palate
See how thick and smooth tihs liqueur is on your tongue; taste the layers of complexity and the changing textures through which it will glide: floral aroma giving way to a heartening sweetness, before gradually fading down the throat. Enjoy it on its own or as a major ingredient in your favourite cocktail.
Finish
Long after the final notes of flavour have evaporated, the subtle, perfectly judged combination of ethereal florality and light sweetness of Giffard Violet remains as a ghost on your palate. It’s possible to remain in a moment of reverie, to relish the artistry manifest in the making of this spirit.
Conclusion
Giffard Violet is more than just a liqueur: it is the ultimate culmination of flavour-engineering, an expression of delight and discovery that can be enjoyed with companions and quietly in solitude.
