Distillerie Massenez – Bread Liqueur – La Baguette – 25%
With more than 150 years of heritage, Distillerie Massenez, now part of Grandes Distilleries Peureux, combines tradition and innovation in the art of distillation. It explores daring creations inspired by iconic French products, blending terroir, gastronomy, and mixology. The liqueur “La Baguette” follows this imaginative approach, transforming a French national symbol into a liquid and sensory expression.
Crafted at 25% ABV, La Baguette bread liqueur is produced using an original method that combines maceration, infusion, and distillation of artisanal baguettes. This unique creation aims to capture the very soul of bread, with nuances of golden crust and tender crumb, while offering a smooth and harmonious texture.
Visually, it is colorless and crystal-clear, but on the nose it opens with delicate floral notes, followed by toasted accents of freshly baked bread crust. On the palate, the attack unfolds with hints of almond; the mid-palate reveals hazelnut aromas, while the finish lingers with a surprising and gourmet crispness.
This liqueur can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it also shines in mixology, where it plays the role of an innovative texturizer, adding a new gastronomic dimension to cocktails.
