Distillerie Massenez – Bread Liqueur – La Baguette – 25%
With more than 150 years of savoir-faire, Distillerie Massenez, part of Grandes Distilleries Peureux, stands as a leading figure in the French tradition of distillation. Known for its bold creativity, the house explores new taste horizons by elevating symbols of French gastronomy. The “La Baguette” liqueur perfectly illustrates this approach, transforming the national icon of bread into a unique liquid experience, at the crossroads of terroir, culture, and mixology.
Crafted at 25% ABV, La Baguette Bread Liqueur results from an original process combining maceration, infusion, and distillation of authentic artisanal baguettes. This innovation captures the very essence of French bread: the warmth of golden crust, the softness of tender crumb, and the indulgent imprint of a daily staple reimagined with elegance. Its silky, balanced texture makes it both surprising and accessible.
Crystal-clear in appearance, it opens on the nose with delicate floral notes before revealing toasted accents reminiscent of freshly baked bread crust. On the palate, it first expresses sweet almond aromas, evolving towards roasted hazelnut nuances. The long, gourmet finish leaves a crisp, unexpected impression that prolongs the tasting pleasure.
Versatile, this liqueur can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but also shines in cocktails, where it brings a unique textured and gastronomic dimension.
