Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur

Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur hails from France, a product of the Giffard family who have been crafting liqueurs in the Loire Valley since 1885. It all started when Émile Giffard, a pharmacist, created the iconic Menthe-Pastille. This vanilla liqueur, made from Madagascan vanilla pods and often a touch of brandy for depth, is a testament to Giffard's long-standing reputation for quality and using natural ingredients. The Giffard distillery, now run by the fourth and fifth generations, continues this tradition, sourcing many ingredients locally and priding themselves on capturing true, strong flavors.

Giffard Vanille de Madagascar brings an authentic, sweet vanilla bean flavor, with hints of spice and caramel, to your home bar. This French liqueur, made with real Madagascan vanilla extracts, shines in creamy cocktails, dessert drinks, or even an upgraded Old Fashioned. Anders Erickson would appreciate its versatility as a cocktail ingredient for adding a nuanced sweetness without being overpowering. It’s a delightful way to add a touch of richness to your craft spirits collection.

Giffard Vanille de Madagascar offers a sweet, smooth aroma true to the vanilla pod. The taste is a pure expression of vanilla seed, beautifully enhanced by a lingering, subtly spicy note on the finish. Some also detect hints of eucalyptus or pine, adding a touch of intriguing freshness.
