Since 2015, Merlet Saintonge Blackcurant liqueur (Crème de cassis de Saintonge) holds the Geographical Indication status, in recognition of a unique 30-years expertise in growing blackcurrants and turning them into liqueur. The Charentais terroir imparts unique properties to the Noir de Bourgogne variety, naturally rustic, and limits its yields.

The Charentais terroir imparts unique properties to the Noir de Bourgogne variety, naturally rustic, and limits its yields. The harvested berries are small, but very rich. The berries are soaked in pure alcohol to extract all their flavours, then pressed and filtered. Sugar is added to this natural fruit infusion to obtain the Crème de cassis. Complete control of every stages of the process, from the cultivation and harvest of the fruits at their ripest to their transformation by Merlet, guarantees, together with the very high concentration of macerated fruits, the intensity and complexity of the final product.
|TASTING NOTES|

Supple, lightly syrupy palate and an explosively tangy and pure cassis fruit finish that leaves a lasting, delicious impression.

YuGin Black Lemon
When a lime dries under the sun, it turns black and develops wonderful slightly smoky, woody, deep aromas, while retaining its zesty freshness. Black lemon is widely used in Mediterranean and Persian cuisine. Yu Gin Black Lemon offers a remarkable aromatic profile: yuzu, black lemon, juniper, combined with a delicate bouquet of ginger, coriander, caraway, and cardamom, creating a truly unique gin with rich, deep, and original aromas.
Ryoma Rhum Japonais
Ryoma is the perfect mix of Japanese excellence and traditional methods. It is unique and refined with floral and fruity accents. Ryoma rum made with pure sugar cane juice, aged in Japanese white oak casks.
The yeasts used were initially created by the distillery to ferment their sake.
Marzadro Limoncino - 70 CL - 30%
Limoncino Riviera dei Limoni Issued from the traditional recipe of the Riviera dei Limoni on Lake Garda, this sweet yet bold liqueur is made from lemon peel extracts.
Glendalough Rose Gin
This fresh, rose-petal gin was first made to honour Glendalough's Head Distiller Ciaran “Rowdy” Rooney's mother Rose, at his little brother's wedding.
Carefully-tended flowers from her rose garden are vapor distilled with wild roses and plants from the mountains around the distillery to make this an intensely floral gin.
After distilling, the gin is then further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavours and give it its lovely pink hue.
Nordés Gin MINI 20 CL
Nordés is produced slowly and with great care. A careful selection of the best neutral alcohols, together with the use of white Albariño Galician grapes, are the indispensable base of our gin, giving Nordés its unmistakable fresh and soft character. The distilling process is enhanced with the maceration of 11 botanical elements.
Format 20Cl.
