Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur

Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur hails from the Savoie region in the French Alps, a place where this traditional herbal liqueur has been made for centuries. Dolin itself, a respected name known for its Vermouth de Chambéry, has been producing Génépy since 1821, using local alpine herbs, most notably artemisia (génépy), which are macerated and then distilled. This isn't some newfangled creation; it's an old classic, long favored by mountaineers and enjoyed as a digestif. The brand is the last independent company still producing Vermouth de Chambéry, adhering to principles that earned the region France's only A.O. for vermouth back in 1932, which speaks to their dedication to tradition and quality.

Dolin Génépy le Chamois brings a unique alpine herbal character to your home bar, reminiscent of fresh sage and mint with a subtle sweetness. This versatile French liqueur shines in spirit-forward cocktails, adding a complex, bittersweet layer that complements gin beautifully. It’s a fun way to introduce a distinct herbal note, sometimes compared to a lighter, more floral Chartreuse, into your cocktail ingredients.

Dolin Génépy le Chamois greets you with fresh alpine herbs, mint, and a whisper of anise. The palate is smooth and herbaceous, revealing sweet sage and thyme that transitions to cooling menthol and eucalyptus, all balanced by a touch of honey. A long, warming finish lingers with mountain herbs, a hint of licorice, and a clean, minty sensation.
