St-Germain embodies the spirit of Parisian art and culture, particularly inspired by the historic St-Germain-des-Prés quarter, known for its artistic legacy. The liqueur's production involves a time-sensitive harvest of elderflowers in the French countryside, capturing the essence of these blooms at their aromatic peak. This connection to its French roots is evident in its crafting process and the elegant presentation that echoes the country’s chic and sophisticated style.
St Germain Elderflower Liqueur offers a delightful and floral bouquet that is both aromatic and inviting. The nose bursts with fresh elderflower accompanied by subtle citrus and tropical fruit hints, setting a fragrant and sweet stage. On the palate, it unfolds with a rich, syrupy texture, where the dominant elderflower is complemented by nuances of pear and peach, alongside a gentle citrus zest. This combination produces a beautifully balanced and smooth flavour profile. The finish is long and continues the floral theme, with a lingering sweetness that reinforces the delicate yet vivid nature of the elderflower. This liqueur is celebrated for its versatility in cocktails, providing a floral sweetness that enhances without overpowering.

Finish:
