Combier Crème de Mûre Blackberry Liqueur

Hailing from Saumur in the Loire Valley, Combier Crème de Mûre Blackberry Liqueur is a classic French delight with a history stretching back to 1834. Originally, Jean-Baptiste Combier, a confectioner, created liqueurs to fill his sweets, but their popularity soon led him to establish a full distillery in 1848. Combier is renowned for its traditional production methods, and this crème de mûre is no exception, made by macerating fresh blackberries in alcohol for several months to capture their authentic fruit character. The distillery itself is noteworthy, featuring an historic still room with a metal structure designed by Gustave Eiffel's engineers and recognized as an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) by the French state.

Combier Crème de Mûre brings a lush, ripe blackberry character with a delightful balance of sweetness and natural tartness. It's a star in a classic Bramble, of course, but also lends its deep berry notes beautifully to champagne for a Kir Mûre or to add complexity to gin fizzes and vodka sours.

Combier Crème de Mûre greets you with the lush fragrance of ripe blackberries. On the palate, rich, juicy blackberries dominate, with a gentle tang and hints of raspberry and black cherry, leading to a smooth, velvety finish with a whisper of vanilla.
