Discover the captivating essence of Joseph Cartron Violet Liqueur, skillfully crafted in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France. This exceptional liqueur pays homage to the delicate beauty of violet flowers, creating a sensory experience like no other.

The journey begins with the meticulous extraction of essential oils from hand-picked violet petals. These precious oils are then carefully evaporated to create an aromatic paste, capturing the true essence of the flowers. Diluted in alcohol and subjected to low-pressure distillation in a small alembic copper pot still, a magnificent mixture known as "violet absolute" is born.

To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, the violet absolute is blended with neutral sugar beet distillate. This exquisite combination is then enhanced with the gradual incorporation of crystalized sugar derived from sugar beets. The result is a harmonious composition, with 100 grams of sugar per liter, showcasing the remarkable depth and sweetness of the violet liqueur.

Indulge your senses in the beautifully aromatic world of Joseph Cartron Violet Liqueur. Its enchanting fragrance evokes the essence of violets without overpowering the senses, striking a delicate balance that is both alluring and captivating. This exquisite liqueur serves as an ideal supporting player in a wide range of classic and contemporary applications.

Although Marseille is reputed as the cradle of Pastis, Saint-Tropez was one of the very first towns to launch its own Pastis brand - Mont Pécoulet – in the same year as the famous Pastis 51.
70 years on, Pastis 12/12 aims to breathe new life into this local tradition while honouring the unique character and beauty of France's most famous village .

Much appreciated by the locals, this classic Pastis is made with a blend of macerated plants from the region topped with a drop of Amaretto in tribute to the producer's homeland.

The Pastis 12/12 bottles are decorated by Saint-Tropez artist Quentin Monge.
They are adorned with a cork stopper and genuine detachable jack, just in time for your next game of boules!

What does the name mean? Originating from an old expression used in boules, where each game is played in 13 points, ‘12/12’ refers to the 'match point' for either team. -Producer's Website

Slightly peated French triple malt whisky. Powerful and expressive, the nose reveals the slightly smoky malt blends as baked apples begin to dance across. The nose evolves with subtle spicy hints of cinnamon and nut-meg, mingling with the beguiling class coming from a long ageing, with touches of orange peel and roast pineapple. The taste evokes the texture and richness of walnut oil. It is full and robust thanks to its gently salty freshness. Primary aging includes three to five years in French oak casks, with a secondary post-blend ageing in old Calvados casks.
