Distilleria Alpe Herbetet Genepy Liqueur 750ml

$40.00

Genepy, or génépi, showcases the true flavor of wormwood, a flowering plant that has connotations to madness and hallucinations. While this is greatly exaggerated, the compound thujone does exist in grande wormwood, the only species allowed in true absinthe. But there are over 200 varieties of wormwood grown all over the world, and in the alps, the native varietal adapted to these high elevations is used to create this deliciously herbaceous and slightly bitter liqueur. The Alpe distillery has been operating in the Aosta Valley since 1948, brewing and distilling various mountain herbs and roots.

Description

This lovely family owned distillery is currently run by Master Distiller Flavio Calvetti, the third generation since his grandfather started making this regional specialty in 1948. Named after the Herbetet peak of the Grand Paradiso mountain in between Aosta and Piedmonte, the family carefully sources the genepy that proliferates here that infuses this regional specialty with its trademark bitterness. Meant to be served ice cold out of the freezer after a day in the snow or as a digestif, this will work equally well in numerous cocktails.
