The secrets of distillation
Distillation is a crucial step in the production of our spirits. This process allows us to extract the subtle aromas of the plants, concentrating their essences to obtain a powerful and fragrant drink. At Maison Noirot, distillation is carried out with care by our flavorists, respecting the ancestral methods of Théodule Noirot which guarantee the purity and intensity of the aromas. The liqueurs obtained are then refined to develop their unique bouquet.
Mountain flowers: a source of inspiration
Mountain flowers, such as those used by Maison Noirot, play a vital role in the creation of Alpine spirits. These flowers, which thrive in alpine environments, bring delicate and distinctive aromas to the liqueurs. Genepi, for example, is an emblematic flower of the Alps, known for its herbaceous and slightly bitter notes. Absinthe, another mountain plant, brings intense aromas and a slight bitterness, contributing to the complexity of the liqueurs.
Cocktails with Alpine spirits
Alpine spirits are also an ideal base for creating sophisticated cocktails. Their aromatic richness allows you to concoct original and tasty drinks. Maison Noirot offers cocktail recipes that highlight their liqueurs, such as the génépi cocktail, which combines this herbal liqueur with citrus fruits and spices for a unique taste experience. Similarly, absinthe-based cocktails reveal intense and refreshing flavors, perfect for surprising and delighting mixology enthusiasts.
