The taste of genepi: bitter, floral, intense
A rare plant from the Alps, genepi produces a liqueur with a unique aromatic profile. Here's how to describe and appreciate its unique taste.
Floral and alpine aromas
Genepi releases notes of dried flowers, fine cut, menthol, and sometimes lavender. These natural fragrances come from the slow maceration of the flowers in alcohol, without added flavors.
A characteristic of bitterness
Genepi is recognizable by its subtle bitterness, reminiscent of absinthe or quinine. This bitterness, never harsh, stimulates the taste buds and makes it an excellent digestif.
A rare aromatic intensity
Its power comes not from its alcohol content, but from the concentration of the plant's essential oils. Artisanal génépi offers a persistent and evolving length in the mouth.
