Aroma and Appearance

Giffard Creme de Cacao Brown lives up to its name, pouring a deep, luxurious brown that hints at the rich chocolate flavours within. As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of intoxicating aromas washes over you. The dominant note is, of course, chocolate, but it's not a one-dimensional sweetness. Hints of roasted cocoa beans emerge, offering a touch of earthiness alongside the decadent richness. Subtle whispers of vanilla peek through, adding a touch of elegance and rounding out the overall bouquet.

Flavour Profile

The first sip of Giffard Creme de Cacao Brown is a revelation. The luxurious texture coats the tongue, delivering a wave of intense chocolate flavour. This isn't the light and airy sweetness of milk chocolate; instead, it's the deep, complex richness of dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage. Hints of vanilla reappear on the palate, adding a touch of creaminess that complements the chocolate beautifully. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, providing a gentle warmth without overpowering the delicate flavours.

The finish of Giffard Creme de Cacao Brown is long and lingering. The chocolate flavour slowly fades, leaving behind a subtle warmth and a hint of roasted cocoa bean on the breath. This luxurious aftertaste invites you to savour every drop and leaves you wanting more.
