Distillerie Massenez - Tigers & Lys Liqueur - 25%
The Distillerie Massenez, located in Dieffenbach-au-Val in the heart of Alsace, is an iconic house founded in 1870 by Jean-Baptiste Massenez, a renowned master distiller. In 1913, his son Eugène Massenez innovated by distilling for the first time an exceptional wild raspberry eau-de-vie, appreciated at the royal court of Sweden, making the distillery an official supplier to the Queen and King of Sweden. The third generation, under the leadership of Gabriel Eugène, strengthened the house's reputation by partnering with prestigious starred chefs such as Paul Bocuse and the famous Parisian restaurant La Tour d’Argent. Facing this growth, a new distillery was established in 1979. Today, the brand is distributed in over 110 countries and offers a diverse range of refined products. In 2010, Distillerie Massenez joined the renowned Grandes Distilleries Peureux, notably thanks to Bernard Baud, their president, famous for Griottines. This synergy revitalizes Distillerie Massenez while preserving its heritage and unique know-how.
The Massenez Private Collection pays a vibrant tribute to the Chinese Zodiac. Each liqueur in this collection is the result of passionate explorations, immersion in authentic cultures, and touching encounters. These experiences inspire the creation of twelve liqueurs, each representing an animal of the Chinese Zodiac. Following the success of Ox & Roses celebrating the Year of the Ox in 2021, the 2022 novelty honors the Tiger Liqueur with Tigers & Lys.
Tigers & Lys captivates with its complex bouquet subtly combining spicy curry notes, the warm sweetness of vanilla, and the freshness of citrus, enhanced by the silky balance of a carefully selected Blended Whisky. This unique liqueur is an invitation to an intense sensory journey, perfect for refined spirit lovers seeking authenticity and originality.
