Maison Louis Roque - Génépi Liqueur - 40%
Maison Louis Roque (also known as Distillerie Louis Roque ) is located in Souillac, in the Lot region . Founded in 1905, this family business embodies the excellence and tradition of the Southwest region. For over a century, it has perpetuated a unique expertise in the artisanal distillation of eaux-de-vie, including its famous Vieille Prune . Far from industrial production, the distillery makes a point of respecting the cycles of the fruit and manual work, thus offering authentic spirits.
Genepi liqueur is made from sprigs of genepi, an alpine plant with floral and slightly minty aromas. The sprigs are handpicked in the mountains, usually in summer, then dried to preserve their aromas. The dried sprigs are immersed in alcohol for maceration. A sugar syrup is then added to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
" Delicate and invigorating, this liqueur reveals floral and minty notes, typical of génépi. Enjoy chilled at the end of a meal or in a cocktail with tonic and lemon zest."
