Jacoulot - Peppermint Liqueur - 21%
The Jacoulot House, located in Romanèche-Thorins in Burgundy, is a family institution recognized for its artisanal expertise and commitment to traditional recipes. For several generations, Jacoulot has distinguished itself through the precision of its macerations, the quality of its distillates, and a constant demand for the origin of raw materials. Far from standardized liqueurs, the house claims an authentic, balanced style faithful to the original taste of the plants. Each creation is conceived as a tasting product, equally at ease at the end of a meal or in quality mixology. The peppermint liqueur fully embodies this heritage.
The Jacoulot Peppermint Liqueur is made from carefully selected peppermint, processed in a way that preserves all its aromatic freshness. The maceration is carried out with precision to extract the plant’s vegetal quintessence, without aggressiveness or excessive sweetness. The final blend primarily seeks balance between menthol intensity, sweetness, and length. True to the house style, this liqueur favors purity of taste over showiness, offering a clear and elegant expression of peppermint. A mastered recipe, without artifice, designed to last.
On tasting, the Jacoulot Peppermint stands out for its frank and natural freshness. The nose is immediate, precise, driven by a lively and crystalline mint, without artificial notes. On the palate, the attack is fresh and tonic, quickly balanced by a controlled sweetness that brings roundness and length. The menthol sensation is persistent but elegant, leaving a clear, refreshing, and very digestible finish. This liqueur is ideally enjoyed pure and well chilled at the end of a meal, but also integrates perfectly into classic or contemporary cocktails, where it brings freshness and aromatic precision. A great traditional liqueur, sincere and perfectly executed.
