Description

Giffard Crème de Mûre is a deep, rich blackberry liqueur that captures both the luscious jammy sweetness and a touch of bramble tartness. At moderate ABV (16%), it balances fruit intensity and approachable sweetness, making it great neat, in cocktails (especially the Bramble), or as a flavor accent in desserts. Key Specs & Origin Spec Detail Producer Giffard & Cie, Loire Valley, France.  ABV / Proof 16% ABV (≈ 32 proof)  Style Fruit crème liqueur / crème de fruits (blackberry)  Base & Ingredients Made with macerated/wild blackberries (fresh and wild where possible), beet neutral spirit, sugar beet sugar.  Appearance Deep purple / rich maroon color; almost opaque, jammy in appearance.  Tasting Profile Sense Notes Nose / Aroma Strong aroma of ripe blackberry purée, jam, bramble, wild berry aroma; hints of freshness even ahead of sweetness.  Palate / Taste Juicy blackberries; rich sweetness; a bit of berry jam character; underlying tartness and mild bitterness from seeds or berry skin; some vegetal / bramble tones.  Finish Lingering blackberry fruit, with a balance of sweet and tart; slight seed bitterness that gives texture; not overly long but very pleasant.  Strengths & What Makes It Special The use of “vine/wild” blackberries gives it more dimension than a purely sweet artificial berry liqueur.  Its sweetness is balanced by natural tartness and seed bitterness—this prevents it from being cloying.  Versatile: good for cocktails, dessert accents, or even neat for those who like rich fruit liqueurs.  Serving & Cocktail Ideas Here are some ready-to-use mini-recipes & serving ideas: Bramble (Classic)  1.5 oz gin  0.75 oz Crème de Mûre  0.75 oz fresh lemon juice  0.5 oz simple syrup  Shake with ice, strain over crushed ice; garnish with blackberry & lemon wheel.
