A Rich Heritage and Meticulous Production

Giffard, a renowned French producer, has been crafting liqueurs and brandies since 1885. Their Apricot Brandy reflects this heritage, using high-quality Rouges du Roussillon apricots, known for their intense sweetness and flavour. These apricots are meticulously infused, capturing their essence in a golden-hued liqueur that promises a delightful taste experience.

Unveiling the Flavour Profile

Pour yourself a glass of Giffard Apricot Brandy and embark on a flavour journey. The initial impression is one of vibrant colour – a beautiful golden yellow with hints of orange, reminiscent of a summer sunset. As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of enticing aromas greets you. First, you'll notice subtle almond notes, hinting at the complexity to come. This is soon followed by the star of the show: the rich, sweet fragrance of perfectly ripe apricots. There's a touch of vegetal character, adding a refreshing green edge, before the aroma finishes with a hint of sweet spice, like the comforting warmth of caramelised apricot marmalade.

The first sip of Giffard Apricot Brandy is a revelation. The initial nuttiness from the almond notes carries through, creating a smooth and intriguing introduction. Then, the explosion of apricot flavour takes hold. It's a burst of sunshine on the palate, capturing the essence of perfectly ripe fruit with its natural sweetness and tangy acidity. The vegetal touch from the aroma reappears, adding a delightful freshness that keeps the sweetness balanced. Finally, the warming spice notes emerge, leaving a lingering sensation of caramelised apricot that lingers on the tongue.

Serving Suggestions to Savour the Flavour
